First of all, please stop giving out more information than you need to. I think, however, that you did this because you think that HelpOwl is Yahoo support. We will give you the steps to contact Yahoo! to resolve the issue but we can't fix the problem.

GO to the following page and pull up the Password Helper: https://edit.yahoo.com/forgotroot and select from the list. You might want "My account may have been compromised" and click next.

You can also call Tech Support directly at 888-562-7219 and press 2 for a live person between 6:00am and 6:00pm Pacific Time.

Best Wishes
