Hi, it sounds like you need to have your password reset. Here's how to do it:

- Go to the Yahoo! login page
- Click on the I can't access my account link
- Choose the I have a problem with my password option and then click Next
- Enter your Yahoo! ID and click Next
- Click Next again to have a password reset email sent to your alternate email address (part of which is displayed on the screen)
- When you receive the email from Yahoo!, click on the link to reset your password, and create a new password
