Google gave me Google+ account. Now I can't access my YouTube account!

I logged in to YouTube. It asked me if I wanted my name changed from picklesadventures to Pickles Adventures. I clicked yes. It congratulated me on opening a Google+ page for my business?!

I then couldn't manage my YouTube account any more! So I asked around, and was told to "disconnect my Google+ account in the YouTube account settings".

I did that.

Now I can't login to my YouTube account at all?! Help! What's going on?!

Yes! What utter nonsense! When I answer all the questions, it tells me my problem is I need to allow www.google.com in my browser settings.

Of course, all the questions are about my browser being wrong or me forgetting my password. THE PROBLEM IS GOOGLE MESSED WITH MY ACCOUNT! NO OPTION FOR THAT!

Yeah let me tell you a story. I have a popular YouTube account in it's niche and accidentally signed up for G+ due to the many prompts back in April. So I promptly disconnected the connection between YT & G+. Then I deleted the G+ account. It blew away all of my YT comments (been going on 2-3 years worth). Eventually G+ got shoved my way, I don't want it but there's nothing I can do. G+ is doing everything they can to force G+ down everyone's throats with no real way of going back to the way things were. Good luck.
