Apple ID not valid / can't reset password / email not available

HEllo,

My Ipad is linked to one of my e-mail, I forgot the password but I am unable to reset it. I receive the following error message: This Apple ID is not valid or not supported.

I can't even unlink it on my iPad (or reset) as they ask me the password with the e-mail every single time.

I tried to create a new apple id using this email but they say " This email address is not available. Choose a different address."

I am totally stuck, can't update my iPad ... can you guys advise?

Thanks

iPad, iOS 9
