Have to link my youtube account to my google account?

When I try to sign in to my Youtube account I am asked to give my Gmail/Google username and password instead. But when I enter my password it asks me to link my Youtube account to my Google account. When I enter that, it tells me my Youtube account is "already linked to a different Google account".

Why am I being made to link my Youtube account to my Google account? Why is it telling me it is already linked to another Google account, when I only have on Google account? Why are they obstructing me from using my Youtube account when I need to?

I am unable to find any way to contact Google or Youtube about this problem.

Update:

AER - I already have a Youtube account, I just can't sign into it.

    Usually it is possible to sign for youtube with a yahoo account, even though it is signed as a "google account".
