Xfinity deactivated my 20 year old email account due to Reset Password fiasco created by them

I also got the Reset Password prompt when trying to log in on Nov 17. After 9 hours on the phone with CSA during the last three weeks and four ticket numbers, now they tell me they 

cannot fix it because it is an orphaned business account. It is my primary residential email I have been using for the last 20 years or so. I just had to post this to let others know the support

team really appear to not want to fix it and have told me I am permanently locked out.

I'm going to escalate this so an official employee can chime in.  You should see a response here in this thread.

Hello @user_0e0olb, and thanks for reaching out about the email access issue. I would be happy to see if there is more we can do to assist with the issue. 

Can you send us a direct message with your full name, name of account holder (if different), and service address please?

To send a "Direct Message" to Xfinity Support:

Click "Sign In" if necessary

Click the "Direct Messaging" icon (speech bubble)

Click the "New message" (pencil and paper) icon

The "To:" line prompts you to "Type the name of a person". Instead, type "Xfinity Support" there

- As you are typing a drop-down list appears. Select "Xfinity Support" from that list

- An "Xfinity Support" graphic replaces the "To:" line

Type your message in the text area near the bottom of the window

Press Enter to send it

yeah. [Edited: "Inflammatory"]  They force password resets, but don't have a simple solution to resolve. There are millions that could never even attempt to resolve this on their own so they are force to be on hold for hours or days and being passed around.  So that's the solution! What are our choices -- none. We could goto another provider (if available and certainly very few) and deal with their issues. [Edited: "Political"] ..ugggh

@user_ci0o4r​ A level 3 tech called and actually said they fixed it, which they did not. I called again to be told by a level 2 that the account can't be fixed. makes the tech support team seem like complete amateurs
