Hi, there may some generic security questions that Yahoo! set up, or perhaps you did create the questions a long time ago and forgot. Either way, this article will show you how to reset your password so you can log back in to your Yahoo! account, even if you don't know your security answers:

- What to do if you can't remember your Yahoo! password or security question answer

Once you've reset the password and logged back in, you can change your security questions (or create new ones if there are none). Instructions for changing your Yahoo! security questions can be found here:

- How to change your Yahoo! security questions
