[Account Issue] Steam profile is linked with unknown account, how to re-link?

HI All,

I'm trying to get Battlefield 4 working through Steam and everytime it Oauth's with the EA App I get the same message I get signing into the EA Website with Steam:

"There's been an error

Your EA credentials may have expired, please try again or reset your password."

And when I reset the password I see an email preview I do not recognize.

How can I unlink me Steam profile from that unknown account and relink it to my own account?

Thanks!

    Hey there, 

    If you're receiving a message saying that your credentials expired, you need to reset your account password: How to reset your expired password. After resetting the password, you should be able to access your account.

    Let us know if you have any further questions,

    Afternoon,

    This is a Steam Oauth account from it's creation I believe, I never set an email & I don't think the ID is one I set (If it's the same as my Steam ID then some random email comes up from a gmail address in the password reset section).

    When I attempt to link my Steam profile to this current EA account I get the above Error with my username.

    I've tried resetting the password but I don't know what the ID would be, when I try my steam profiles ID it comes up to an unknown email.

    I also have an open ticket with support but nobodies gotten in contact with me yet.
