@TeamYouTube Hello I'm having trouble signing into an old account I hadn't used since 2008 and didn't brand it to any google account. I tried adding it to my current google account and it said: "This YouTube account isn't available to be claimed" I even have the password saved
Thanks for reaching out. To confirm, have you tried following the steps mentioned in our Help Center article to sign into your account: https://yt.be/help/6F5f ? Let us know if that helps.

Yes, I did and it said: "This YouTube account isn't available to be claimed" The password hasn't been changed and I didn't brand it to a previous google account. Every other old account worked except this one. The account is EgonZegon07 and I want to brand it to "stevieschnick"

Thanks for trying those steps. To clarify, if a channel is created before May 2009 it is considered to be a legacy account. Unfortunately, if you don't remember the password for a legacy account, there is no recovery option to regain access to it. Hope this helps clarify.
