Ha ha - I just had this problem myself as I hadn't been on the 360 since BO3 dropped.  You need to delete your existing profile from the 360 and then re-download it from XBLive.  The link ABC posted above shows how to do this.  http://support.xbox.com/en-US/my-account/manage-gamertag-and-profile/download-your-xbox-live-profile-to-another-360-console

 

You delete it from the 360, you download it from the XBLive service and you are good to go.  Caveat* - If you made a GT change, or you made any password changes, you may need to follow the directions for two-phase authentication which is the new security watch word.  It may them just forcing the 2 phase auth onto more accounts.

 

Once I deleted and reloaded my profile, I did have to use the two way method, I was on and playing.  Total time down was about 15 minutes, but 10 of that was researching the code and following a couple of links to figure out my specific need.
