I have had this email account forever and suddenly I'm given the message that I've tried too many times to sign in incorrectly. Well I haven't and now I need to get into my email. Why is this a problem and can I talk to someone to get help.

I have already checked the responses, there are questions, but where are the answers? Honestly this has taken up so much time. Why can't I speak with someone, or use online chat?
