> I'm sure online office (360, live, or whatever the name is this week) support has the ability to get to your documents though.

I have an admin account for an Office365 subscription, I can absolutely NOT impersonate a user. From what I know, Microsoft can not either.

Runas doesn't let me "see the error the user has"

You're assuming that admin account has the same or more privileges as a local MS's support account. Is there a reason for that?

Well, you assumed a lot of stuff in your post, too..

But yes. Microsoft will actually reset your password, or ask you for it, to troubleshoot O365 problems. Very standard.
