According to Yahoo, your account has been blocked because of one of the following reasons.

Three or more failed sign in attempts
Someone with a similar Yahoo! ID accidentally typed your ID on log in
Automatic security measures

These are the solutions for this problem.

It lasts 24 hours, starting on the third unsuccessful log in attempt.
It doesn't reset. Attempting to login again within the 24 period will not help.
Try again after 24 hours. Once the lockout time has expired, your password should work as usual.
We can't provide the lock time information to you. We can't give you the exact time that your account was locked or when it will be unlocked.
