Outlook.com email goes to Captcha and won't resolve

I can log into my account at Outlook.com. However, before I can click on anything, I go to a Captcha screen. Regardless of what is entered, I am redirected to a page that says "Sorry, Something Went Wrong".
I have been locked out of my email for 5 days now. Even clicking on 'verify your account' to see the message less often fails and takes me to the Sorry page.
I have tried four browsers, three computers on separate external IPs/locations, cleared and emptied all the caches, etc.
Help!

Go to the Outlook.com login screen and click on Forgot Password. That will take you to a link where you enter your email address and then you get a password reset link. Follow that, reset your Outlook.com password and you should be able to get in.

You do not say if Windows 10 and you use a Microsoft email account for Windows 10. The above will change your Windows 10 Password if the same as Outlook.com.  

So please go carefully and write down what you do.
