"Access not Authorized" on app and unable to sign in on website

Signed up for internet service for a new apartment and made a new account. Was able to select a plan and set up an appointment time, but then tried to sign in to my account to set stuff up and move my appointment time and I cannot sign into the account. On the app, I sign into my account, but I keep hitting a page that says "Access not Authorized". When I try to sign in on the website, I click sign in, but it just goes into a weird loop of signing me out again and I cannot access any account information. See below for the access not authorized error. I do have a previous Xfinity account that is linked to my parent's address so I did not want to move their service so I signed up for a new account for a new place and something about that seems to be messing up this process. I did see something on the forum about linking these accounts, but I kept getting a timeout error when I tried to link the two accounts, so I'm stuck.

user_uu06s0 Welcome to our community forum and thank you for choosing Xfinity as your service provider at the new apartment! Are you able to create a new Xfinity ID here for your account with a different Email and phone number than the profile you had under your parents' account? If you're trying to use the same contact information, they might need to remove your profile from their account first. They can find instructions to remove your profile here.
 
While I can't create or remove user IDs from accounts, I can definitely help you reschedule your appointment for a time that works for you. Please send a direct message to Xfinity Support by clicking the chat icon in the upper right corner of the page, click on the pen and paper icon, then enter “Xfinity Support” in the “To” section. Include your name and address in the body of the message so I can find your account and get started on a resolution.
