Greetings - I understand you were trying and couldn't succesfully use the Yahoo's self help 'password recovery wizard. Well, you can try and forward the matter to Yahoo's Tech Support in the following way

1. Go to http://io.help.yahoo.com/contact/index
2. Select 'Yahoo Account'

3. Select Password & Signin
4. Select 'Forgot my Password'
5. Select 'Email a support Agent'
6. Fill out the form that appear, describing you problem as best as you can
7. Submit the form when done and wait for the Yahoo team

Hope this helps


Hope that is helpful.

I have found out that the security question and answer is actually not needed as long as you have a non Yahoo email account registered with Yahoo. If you don't have one then get one before you get locked out.

Yahoo will not even let you change the question and answer unless you know what the original one was.

To change or update your Password Question and Secret Answer, send an email to: [email protected]
For security reasons, we request that you send this information from the Yahoo! Mail account associated with the Password Question and Secret Answer. For the Subject of the email, type: Password Question and Secret Answer.
In the text of the email, include:
