HP ENVY 6455e All-in-One Printer

System refuses to let me update the email address I am using. I intend to get rid of that email adddress. Your message says “ This email address is not available. If you own this email address, you can release it by signing in to the other account and changing it there. Alternatively, you can use that other account instead of changing this one. Use the forgot password link as needed. “ 

What?? I only have the one account that I’m aware of and pretty much use it exclusively. I am trying to get rid of having several different email accounts. Until this is straightened out it makes it extremely difficult to change what email address I’m using. All emails from hp are going to the one on file. Strange the system will not let me change it. I do not have time to go round in circles on this and I need it fixed NOW!

I tried that to start with and it didn’t work. That’s why I reached out.
