It would only be your Yahoo! mail password if you have already completed this process.

If you have completed all the steps and it still doesn't work, go here and select "Forgot your password?" You will then be taken to a page in which you can choose what to do next.

No.... when you set up Windows Live, you set up a password that has nothing to do with Yahoo. You can use the same password, but you have to enter the password in the set up portion of Windows Live. You may have meant to use the same password but accidently hit the wrong key. You can rest yoyur password with Windows live here: https://account.live.com/resetpassword.aspx
