Help with linking my Youtube/Google account?

I have two Youtube accounts and one of them is linked to my Google account. The other one I want to link to my Google account but it wont let me. I cant log in to it because Youtube requires me to log in to your Google account which is linked to another Youtube account. I know there was a time where you could link your Youtube account to Google but now that time has passed and I have no way of logging into my other Youtube account? What can I do? Any solutions?

    No, you can't link 2 youtube accounts to one g-mail account anymore.

    YouTube/Google made a lot of recent changes that will tie newly created YouTube accounts to it's own google/gmail account permanently linking them together...as far as I know, one youtube account only, since the gmail address/google account can be used to sign in to YouTube.

    In the past, YouTube accounts were not permanently linked to google accounts and the same email address could be used for multiple youtube accounts.

    -----

    You have to unlink the other youtube account from the g-mail account.

    To unlink a legacy YouTube account from a Google Account, follow the steps below. Please note that you will be immediately asked to link to another Google Account.

    1. Make sure you're signed out of all Google Accounts and visit this page: http://www.youtube.com/my_account_unlink

    2. Enter your YouTube username and your old YouTube password from before you linked to your Google Account, then enter the verification code.

    3. Next, click Unlink My Accounts.

    4. You'll need to re-link your YouTube account to another Google Account. You can link it to an existing Google Account that you own, or create a new one.

    Each Google Account can only be linked to one YouTube account and vice versa; if a Google Account already has a linked YouTube account, you won't be able to link another one.
