@ThandalNLyman - I repurchased the games because my upgraded PC from when I had played ME1 and ME2 originally would no longer "read" the CD-ROMs and I didn't take the time to wade through all the ephemera on the help pages to figure out how to download the games from Origin since I had the old CDs. With that said, my ME1 games is FANTASTIC and now I have Pinnacle Station and the Asteroid mission (which indicates how old my original ME1 game was). My ME2 Game has been a disaster trying to get it to run and recognize my EA account.
@holger1405 I am a U.S. resident. My Origin Account is fine. I can access it so get to my games. I play ME3 Multiplayer frequently. I am annoyed that in ME2, the Cerberus Network won't recognize my Origing/EA account password. I keep getting the message "The password does not match the one associated with this account." That seems to be my primary issue... The CN in the game is not recognizing my EA account.
Today (Sunday, 13 Sept) I spent a fair amount of time with an EA representative through their live chat. The Rep provided me with several places to go to hopefully activate the Cerberus Network. None of them provided me with the information necessary to activate the CN in game. Finally after a considerable wait for the Rep to consult with her/his colleagues, she/he reported back to me that "Unfortunately, ME2 is a "Sunset" game, and they are no longer offering support for it."
SOOOOoooooo...it looks like I made a purchase that I cannot use.
Do any of you have a "work around" so that I might be able to get ME2 up and running with all its DLC? Or am I stuck playing the "Vanilla" game?
Thank you for all you efforts on my behalf.

There can be a problem with this specific game inside your account. Did the reps mentioned that they checked your account?
I asked that before:
Are you on a private or a public (University) network?
Do you use special characters in your user name or E-Mail or is your password longer than 16 characters?
Hi again Holger,
Sorry to be so dense here. Mea Culpa.
No, the representative did not say whether she/he had checked my account.
I am using my home's Internet Connection. I have a cable ISP (Spectrum Internet in Up State NY). I hope I have made my network private (The WiFi is PW protected). My machine is hard-wired into the router (ethernet cable). There are two other computers connected via hardwire into the network and my son's PS3 and PS4, as well as our printer connect to it via WiFi (password protected).
My username is my email address, correct? It is simply [edit: email address removed] [not my real email, but you get the idea]. No special characters in that.
My PW has one special character in it, but otherwise is only eight (8) characters long. Mix of caps and lowercase and digits. The special character is not one of the "prohibited" ones like \ or & (due the HTML necessities of those characters).
I hope that helps your analysis.
Thank you again for you patience with this "old fart" gamer.
