Remove Bank from Unkown Paypal Account

I tried to add my checking account to Paypal. It said the checking account was already linked to another Paypal account. I've had my checking account for close to 10 years.  I'm afraid I have an old Paypal account I haven't used in years, attached to an email address I no longer remember, and I attached my bank account and forgot all about it.  I'm obviously not going to change my bank account just to use paypal.  Is there a way to resolve this?

It worked.  I just had to call PayPal by phone, give them the bank account number, and they took care of it.  The whole process took about 5-10 minutes.
