Linking Xbox account issue

Hello, I’m trying to play an EA Game and the game tells me that I need to reset my account password and when I did that, I was trying to login to my EA account with my Xbox account and when I did, it tells me that my Xbox account is already linked to an email d9*******disabled.ea.com. I don’t understand why it’s linked to that email and I just want my Xbox account linked to my email so I’m able to play EA Games. Please help.

    Hey SkullMan360​ if seeing disabled then it means that you need to reset the password for the EA account.

    It may be the case that you have more than one EA account and are trying to log in with a secondary one.

    Try the password reset option and enter any emails you have.

    I’ve reset my password 3 times already. I can log into my EA account but I can’t link my Xbox account to my EA account because it’s already linked to another email and I don’t recognize the email. I just want to be able to link my Xbox account to my EA account so I can play EA games on my Xbox.

    Posting in case you're in the same boat as me. My disabled account that required a password reset was my gmail, I made the mistake of clicking the Sign-In with Google button instead of just directly resetting the password. This mistake essentially created a new account with my disabled accounts email which in turn has prevented me from doing anything for the disabled account that is linked to my xbox account. Just came across this excerpt on an EA article, basically have to unlink the Google account, then change your email to a different email, then try resetting the password of the disabled account again. Havent been able to try though because there's a 30 day window between when you can change the email address on your account, and apparently me clicking sign in with google triggered that window. absolute joke of a user account system.
