I think you encrypted your hard drive when installing Yosemite. See How to bypass FileVault when you restart your Mac | MacIssues and Use FileVault to encrypt the startup disk on your Mac.

If you cannot gain access to the drive, then you need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X. During the installation pay close attention because encryption is an installer default. When that option comes up you will need to opt out of encryption or provide a password when requested. Write it down so you don't forget it.
