Cannot login to Outlook due to error "Something went wrong.."

Anonymous

Original title: Outlook LIVE (outlook.com) "Something went wrong and we can't sign you in right now. Please try again later".

I have a custom domain running Outlook LIVE through outlook.com.  I've had an old passport account which has been with me for a long time but didn't used to have email associated with it.  I recently updated it to have email enabled, but I'm not able to login to outlook live with that account.

How can I get around the "Something went wrong and we can't sign you in right now. Please try again later" error, or determine what the problem is?  I waited about a month but I'm still having the same problem.  I would really like to get email onto this account since it's the account I have all of my other things (xbox, phone, win8) pointed to.

Thanks

    Having the same problem for both Thinkpad X230 and Centos6.5 machine (all running Firefox 64bit)

    For Centos6.5 machine, the error message is:

    X-ClientId: 78D8CA957BCF4A9DA98297FDE73E9A23
X-Auth-Error: ADDriverStoreAccessNonLocalException
X-FEServer: HK2PR01CA0078

    I even modify password, still not working.

    I am having the same issue and found this thread to see if i can find some answers. It is ridiculous that Amrita provides the same canned answer every time this problem is presented, and I see no evidence that this has been resolved for anyone. Is there a solution to this issue? I am away from my desk and must check my work email ASAP.
