If Yahoo rejected your password it should have given you a reason. If so, just create a password meeting Yahoo's criteria.

Otherwise, the issue may reflect a huge problem that Yahoo has been dealing with. See http://www.pcworld.com/article/2079440/yahoo-mail-still-down-for-some-users-after-an-attempted-fix.html. In that case there's nothing you can do until Yahoo gets its act together. Sorry.
