Change Origin's security question.

★★★ Novice

I'd like to change my Origin's security question but it asks me a previous question that I don't remember. Can I change the question in any other way? The email address linked to my Origin ID is hacked and I'd like the change the email address linked to my Origin ID. For that, Origin asks me my security question that I don't remember. 

Please, help me.

Thankyou.

Don't get lazy, please EA, It's not game specific and your forum options are so terrible there is no way to ask questions about origin based questions, don't be an idiot, his question wasn't about a game, it was about origin "3. Type in the name of the affected game" It's not based on a game, so to ask for help or to critique the service,... we can't? What's up with that? afraid to find out what the public think about the service? If you can call it that, now stop being lazy, and tell him and others how to change (what should be) simple account/security based issues... Confusedmileymad:
