I don’t think you will be able to do this. You will need to transfer it to a new account as covered above.
You are lucky in that the site is not currently proxied through Cloudflare so the IP address of the server is visible for you to configure in the new account.
The DNS records are what I’m trying to change. Network Solutions is the registrar that my Domain names are. It is where my domain lives and I don’t want to change that. I do not want to forklift my domains into Cloudflare just to change my DNS records. If I am forced to do that, I will move everything to Network Solutions to avoid further complication. It seems that if Cloudflare cannot verify their clients in some way to reconnect businesses to their information in the event of such things as a corporate merger, employee leaving and lost information occurrence or some other befallen problem that I don’t think I need to keep my domain with them.
You don’t need to change your registrar. Your config with Network Solutions will stay as it is. You just move the DNS management of the domain from the original account to yours so you can edit the DNS records. Moving it to your account is the best way for Cloudflare to verify that you have control of the domain.
This is what I’m trying to do. I have created a new account within Cloudflare, and a support ticket in an attempt to get with a technician that will facilitate the move of that original account to the new. When I saw the warning on the info you posted before, it seemed like this was not possible within Cloudflare. That has left me waiting on a response to my support ticket to which no one has replied. I don’t know what the original account was. Enterprise, Free, whatever. So I don’t know how to proceed other than wait for something to happen with the support ticket.
You shouldn’t need a support ticket to move accounts is you follow this guide:

The first instructions that you have posted for me to move them says I need access to both Cloudflare accounts, to which I don’t have…
That is true, which I had missed. I don’t think that is necessary though and will feed this back to the team that the article is not clear.
User A does not have to do anything to initiate the change.
The only thing in the instructions that needs access to the first account is copying the settings over. Which is not necessary for the transfer. Looking at what is publicly visible, when you do transfer over, I would set all DNS records to 
and NOT 
.
Only other reason account access is needed is if there is an issue with a European domain.
The existing DNS records that I don’t know about is the concern. CNAMES, A records and others that I do know that were created to make things work that I have no access to. I understand that I can move the zone to another, but without complete access to both accounts, it looks like I’m migrating the domain name within Cloudflare to a new account, creating a new zone, and only populating with public info. That is not migrating my old zone to a new one. That is making a new zone.
Unfortunately, there isn’t another option, it is the same situation as:
And what about the original DNS Records. That does not mention any infomation concerning my original records.
Cloudflare will perform their usual scan and bring across all common records but any obscure ones may be missed.
