Verizon Account Locked Out

I have been a Verizon "Keep My Email" account user for 9 years since moving away from metro area to location without FIOS services. I normally use Outlook as my email client. For some reason I attempted to use webmail yesterday. I have not used it in a long time. I THOUGHT I knew my password but guess not. And of course I could not recall the answer to my secret question. My account was locked. I spent hours on CHAT today to no avail to get into my email. I use email for work, school and just about everything important like elderly, ill family members who are using it to report in each day? I need to get to my email and now my laptop Outlook account will not work either, because I am locked out. The tech person on Chat says can't unlock the account, can't assign a temporary password for me, can't recreate my account, etc. Could not do anything and said the Email Group could not help either. Now, in my attempts to continue troubleshooting on my own I am seeing that Verizon mail must now use AOL, and if you change your password you will have problems. I never received notification about AOL and this change. I fear my email is now in limbo. I must get access to it. Can anyone please help me?
