  This link may help you change the underlying Microsoft account association.

  https://social.technet.microsoft.com/wiki/contents/articles/4806.how-to-change-your-email-or-live-id-on-an-msdn-or-technet-profile.aspx

  but in the end you may need to just add another alias to your microsoft account.

  Thanks dave for the reply but I can not add my personal MS acc (gmail.com) to be an allias to the account which i have registered on ms technet forums, either I can not merge this two account per the article you have sent to me : "

  Switching/Moving/Merging MSDN/TN profile

  Currently it's not possible or supported to move your profile from an old to a new profile.  We are sorry that this feature has been disabled now. And we will let you know once it is enabled.

  "

  The only thing I could do was change the e-mail address to which I will recieve notifications: https://social.technet.microsoft.com/wiki/contents/articles/13613.how-to-change-your-email-alerts-and-notifications-on-the-msdntechnet-platforms.aspx

  What happens when you try? This is what I had to do long ago because my account was an @passport.com address that never even had pop/smtp servers configured. So I added my @gmail.com email, made it primary so now use that for logon, but now we're talking a microsoft account issue and not a forums profile problem. You can also chat or email them here about the alias issue. (links at page bottom)

  Ok, that may mean you or someone else already used that email address for another microsoft account. I had this happen with an apple account. Someone mistakenly used my email address which was useless for them as they could not authenticate it, but also made it permanently useless for me as well.
