If you have time in your hand wait for a moment, find the time when you have not see the message "This account is already used by another ..." Then you enter your ID and Password i.e., sign in. Then change your Password as soon as possible.Thanks

If she's changed all of the security questions and everything, I think that the only way to get it back is to contact Yahoo!, and just have them delete it, and then open a new account

your security question cannont be changed by anyone other than yahoo support team...either you should have forgot it...or trying to find a way around\n\n\ncontact yahoo support regarding this\n\nor else creat a new account

If they have that feature disabled, then you can't.\nWell your best try would be to try out different email addresses if that person is displaying his Yahoo! ID and not a nickname. \n\nExample\nIf the person's Yahoo! ID is thisisjustabot , try mailing to\nthisisjustabot@yahoo.com\nthisisjustabot@yahoo.co.in\nthisisjustabot@yahoo.co.uk\nand any other extensions that you know.\nIf you are lucky enough, you might get to him !!!

if you are not able to reset the password then write to yahoo if you prove you are the owner they will reset it for you (if you are talking about yahoo account)

You'll have to email the support staff and ask them to reset your password. You'll probably have to have *some* way of proving that account belongs to you, though, such as all the registration info you undoubtedly had to give when signing up (name, birthdate, address, that sort of thing) so let's hope you didn't make all that stuff up

You can't...sorry.  You can try to create a new ID using your old name as long as someone else hasn't already taken it.  Anything that you had saved will no longer be available though.  Good Luck.

Go here:\n\nhttp://help.yahoo.com/l/us/yahoo/edit/ch...\n\nHave a read, it will explain everything, and there is a link to click so you can delete your account.\n\nJust so you know. Once you have deleted your account you CANNOT retrieve it.

You'll have to speak with a Yahoo! representative about it personally. My guess is you may have a difficult time recovering the account, but good luck anyways.

Contact Yahoo & tell them what you just told us. They will want to know when the account was created & names of your folders etc.

You are the victim of a phishing scam.  Yahoo would never ask you to "reconfirm" your account.  This is a very common scam.  \n\nYou will NEVER be asked to reconfirm your account information by ANY legitimate business or website!  If you receive one of these fraudulent e-mails, you should forwared it to the Abuse department of the business that the e-mail purports to come from.\n\nThe scammer has changed your password, this is why you are locked out of your account.\n\nYou should contact Yahoo and explain what happened.  Hopefully they will lock out that account so that the scammer cannot use it any more.  Yahoo may or may not get you access back into the account.  I wouldn't bet on that, though.\n\nYou might try to log on to it and go through the lost password recovery procedure.  If the scammer didn't change your settings, you will be able to recover the account.  Then give yourself a NEW password.  Make it something that someone won't guess easily.  \n\nIf you get this lucky, you should contact all of your friends and contacts on Yahoo and explain to them what happened.  The scammer has probably tried to scam them or send viruses or spyware to them pretending to be you.  Since your friends think that it's coming from you, they are more likely to trust the e-mail or message as being legitinate.\n\nIf they did change your details and secret question, the account is probably lost forever.

try asking Yahoo Customer Service

I don't believe that Yahoo would do that. My guess is you got scammed by someone after your email account, and any personal info in contains.\n\nGet a hold of yahoo and see what they say. Probably the same thing.\n\nGood luck.

Try password forgotten side of yahoomail page, then try to fill in the basic info u put while opening the account. U might get it back if the hacker didn't change ur basic info. Or better write an email to the ID, the hacker might tell u what u have to offer to get back ur account
