I don't see how 6I0s9fQ6's link will help you. Yahoo does not allow you to have two different accounts. To retrieve your old account you must first close your current account. Then to open your old account when you don't know the password, submit this dialog.

Phoning Yahoo will likely not be productive, as Yahoo is currently having customer service issues.

It's dependant upon how long it's been inactive.

Go to this page to attempt to reclaim your account.

If that fails I suggest you contact Yahoo @ 1-800-318-0612 for Login Help.
