    Hi @Ahmed Sallam

    Welcome to Microsoft Q&A forum. 

    Thank you for reaching out and sharing the error message with us. According to your concern, the issue typically indicates that you are entering incorrect account credentials or your account doesn’t exist in your school tenant.  

    To resolve the issue, I would recommend first carefully re-entering your username and password. To avoid any typing errors, you may type the credentials into Notepad, verify that there are no extra spaces or incorrect characters, and then copy and paste them into the sign-in page to try again. 

    If the issue persists, please contact your school’s IT administrator and ask them to confirm whether your account exists and is active in the school’s Microsoft tenant. Please reach out to your IT admin and provide them with these steps: 

    1. Sign into Microsoft 365 admin center using Global admin account. 
    2. Go to Users > Active users, look for your account.

    1. Confirm if the user account exists. 

    Additionally, if further investigation is required, the best next step is to have your school's IT administrator submit a support ticket through the Microsoft 365 Admin Center. 

    Once the ticket is created, a technical support engineer will be able to initiate a secure remote session, review backend configurations, run diagnostics, and escalate the case to specialized engineering teams if necessary. These teams are equipped to perform advanced troubleshooting and provide targeted solutions. 

    As moderators, our role is to offer guidance and general troubleshooting steps. Although we do not have access to administrative tools required for backend fixes, we truly appreciate your understanding of these limitations. We hope the information provided helps point you in the right direction, and we are always here to assist as much as possible within our scope.

    If you are receiving a message stating that a Microsoft account could not be found, it may be due to the following reasons:

    1. Account Creation: You might be trying to sign in with an email address that has not been registered as a Microsoft account. Ensure that you have created a Microsoft account with the email you are using.
    2. Domain Issues: If your email address is associated with a domain that is hosted in Azure, it may not be eligible for a personal Microsoft account. In such cases, you should ensure you are using a work or school email address that is linked to a Microsoft account.
    3. Incorrect Credentials: Double-check that you are entering the correct email address and password. Sometimes, similar-looking email addresses can lead to confusion.
    4. Sign Up for a New Account: If you are sure that the email address has not been registered, you can create a new Microsoft account by following the sign-up process.

    If you continue to have issues, consider reaching out to Microsoft support for further assistance.
