1 Can I do it with Miles and More even if BA is not in Star Alliance ?

or

2 Put them in AA (tried the ticket number on the website but it is not recognized)

Thanks forthe help !!!

1) You will not be able to apply the miles flown on BA to Miles and More, but it should be possible for you to obtain "original routing credit" (use these exact words) on Miles and More" for the LH flight you were originally scheduled to take to Miami.

2) You should also be able to receive credit on AA for the flights you actually took on BA, upon request.

I see no reason why you could not do both of these, under the circumstances. Be sure to retain all tickets and boarding passes until credit is received, as you may need to document your travels.
