How do I regain full control of a subsite after uninheriting and removing full control.

I need your help with Sharepoint online permission setting.
Background:
I want to setup non-inherited permission for subsite, and the permission is different with the main site.
After that I breaking inherit parent permission and removed the full control group that includes me. 
When I intended to add me as the only full control permission. I've been informed that I don't have access.
I have just realized that there is no person under full control of the subsite. How can I restore my permissions? 
Thanks in advance.

  • JC_Yang Contact Site Collection Administrator (SCA) of main site or SharePoint tenant administrator.

     

    They should have access & Full control permissions to the subsite. Request them to grant you Full Control permissions on subsite (probably via "Owners" group).
