question about You Tube?

Years ago I created a You Tube username and account, but never used it. Recently got an email from You Tube regarding this, somehow I was able to create a new username and account associated with the same email address. Recently I wanted to upload something to You Tube, got an error message stating I needed an account with Google. I do not want a Google account or Gmail address. Now I find not only can't I get into You Tube, I'm unable to cancel the You Tube accounts because of the weird software, which keeps re-directing me to create a new password, over and over. I looked at all the help pages, still can't figure it out. According to You Tube, in order to create a new account, one must create a Google account first. I checked with Google, there is no account associated with my email address.

Thus, I can't get into You Tube to cancel the account, like an "infinity" sign or never-ending figure 8, You Tube keeps responding to reset the password. Anyone have any idea how to resolve this ?
