Greetings - I assume you tried the security question method because you did not have a secondary email address attached to your Yahoo account (or you dont remember its password as well) because if you have added a secondary email address and still remember its loging password, you can use it to reset your forgotten Yahoo password as an alternative to the Security Question method.

Otherwise the only other way to try and recover your Yahoo Account if you cannot remember your security question (and had no secondary email attached) is to try the Yahoo Support team -

I assum you already went through the <a href="https://edit.yahoo.com/forgotroot/"rel="nofollow">Yahoo Account Recovery Wizard</a>. Which would be a goood start, if you have not yet.

You can also try contacting Customer Support by clicking on the following link to request assistance with your Log In issue:
