Based on your description, I believe that your account has been already deleted by Yahoo since you last accessed your account in 2004. According to Yahoo, these are the possible reasons of account deletion.
  • The user had requested deletion of the account. This would require entry of a valid password.
  • The account was removed due to inactivity. Yahoo! Mail accounts are deactivated and removed after six months of not being used, plus an additional two months for each year you held the account.
  • Yahoo! deactivated the account because of a violation of the Terms of Service.

To reactivate your account:

  1. Sign in to your Yahoo! Mail account with your current password. (We encourage you to do so on a computer rather than a mobile device.)
  2. Confirm your Yahoo! ID and complete the CAPTCHA verification.
  3. Select Reactivate at the bottom of the page.
