When i attempt to log into the game it will not accept the EA password. What now?

I had this problem too, but I resolved it (hurray!) using the old EA Account password in Battlefield 2 (I finally reminded it to myself).In detail: after two years of not playing BF2, I wanted to get back to it, using my old account with all my progress (unlocks etc). I installed BF2, and I did not remember password for the old account. So I used password resetting option (by email link) and conversion to Origin account at the same time. I have set the new password, and I tried to log into BF2 with it, but it didn't work, just as described above, by you guys. So finally I reminded myself the old password of the EA Account, and I logged in - even though I changed the password on Origin, but I guess BF2 does not care about it at all 🙂

Correct, the gamespy link no longer works. IGN (owner of gamespy) shut down gamespy services several years ago now.You can still play Battlefield 2 offline in single player but it will require that you delete or remove your online account inside BF2,and create a single player offline account.Now let me be clear, I do not mean delete your Origin account. This is totally separate. You see, you have to understand your BF2 account was originally a gamespy account which no longer exists. When it says the "Connection to the server was refused" it's becauseit is trying to connect to the GAMESPY server which no longer exists and is not part of EA. You can't even play BF2 online in EA's version which was free to play, as EA has saw fit to shut that game down as well as shown here:https://www.facebook.com/bfplay4freeBasically Battlefield 2 is officially dead as a online multiplayer game......... I will surely miss this game, as well as the free to play one as I played it as well.Here is a thought EA, update BF2 to current graphics, keep the original game play, re-release it as a classic or gold edition,(with gamespy totally removed from the equation of course, where only your EA login is required) and let us the players have our fun.

Have you attempted to login to your account at profile.ea.com? Try that and ensure your EA classic persona is linked to your account. The EA classic account should be your login for BF:BC2.Goodluck

I had just brought Battlefield 2: Complete Collection on Origin and I couldn't sign in or retrieve account in Multiplayer using my origin account. I can't create an account using my origin ID too. Is there a solution to this problem besides creating a new account with a different email in bf 2?

I tried to restart my password with the link bellow, but the problem persists... I've bought yesterday BF2 Complete Collection via Origin, installed the client, downloaded the game, but when I try to retrieve my Origin/EA account, it says: "The account is invalid. Either the name is incorrect or email address is incorrect or already in use. Please try again". When I register a new account with same email it says that my email address is already in use.
What I do???
