Why Did Yahoo Change My Password?

Last Thursday May 07, Yahoo changed my email password with no prior consultation with me. I want to know if it was done by Yahoo or by scammers. I erased your notification of what my new password was, so I have no access until a temporary password is provided by US Mail.
