How Do I Change My Fb Email Address As I Cannot Access The One Originallys Et Up

I set up my Facebook account 3/4 years ago, but have recently changed my email address and cannot access the one that was used to set my FB account up orginally. How do I change the email address without having to set a new account up and lose all my contacts etc? Many thanks!

Consider these suggestions from Facebook:

Try using your username (ex: https://www.facebook.com/username) and password to log in. If you don't know your username, ask a friend to go to your profile (timeline) and find it for you.
Try entering any other email addresses or phone numbers you might have added to your account. If you've added a mobile number to your account, you can log in by entering that number in the Email field. Start with the country code and remove any leading zeroes and symbols.
If you still can't get into your account after trying the suggestions above, try locating your account on the password reset page.
