If you can't log in to your #Google Workspace administrator account, you can't message Support about it because you have to be logged into your account to use their contact form.
Luckily, I eventually found another way to message Google Support, and today they got back to me.
They told me that they don't handle that issue, and sent me a link to a contact form.
It's the one I can't use because I can't log in to my administrator account.
Google's parent company, Alphabet, is worth $2tn today.

Luckily I manage to recover it as #DataRetention exists, it was only 15 minutes or so when I saw the email.
