You can't.. That's why it's called a security question. The only reason to do that kind of thing would be to hack into someone else's account.

If you think your Yahoo! account was hacked, the first thing you should try is to reset the password. You can do this by going to http://edit.yahoo.com/config/eval_profile and clicking on "Change Password"\n\nIf you can't sign in, then you should contact Yahoo! Customer Care. They should be able to reset your password for you if you can verify who you are, and things about your account.\n\nYahoo! Customer Care:\nhttp://add.yahoo.com/fast/help/us/security/cgi_feedback

That means that some one else has your password or he/she has hacked in to your email. \n\nThe one thing that you can try doing is locate the originating ip in the full headers of the email and track that ip down. that will not tell you who sent that email. it'll only give you a source of origin. \n\nTo find who actually sent it.. only logic can help.

Sorry, but you have a hacker to get rid of. He's logging your key strokes and probably by now has your e-mail codes.\nTry going to my computer/add/delete programs. Look through the list for one that is not started with a capitol letter.\nCan't garantee success or no damage, but he's in there and reporting on what you do. Probably sending messages from your e-mail to people you don't know, or do know, representing himself as YOU.\nI had one do that to me, and I had to replace the browser to get rid of him. You can get a new one by search/free browsers. Stay with the microsoft ones as others can mess you up too.\nTo replace a browser create a file to receive it in, find the one you want and download it to your file.\nOnce done downloading, go to the file and click install in the software. Be prepared to answer questions about what is to be used in each program. It will automatically replace your old browser, and should restore your e-mail.\nUnfortunately, since he has your codes, he can still access your mail. To stop that replace the currant code with a new one, and change it at least once a month. Don't forget to write down the change, and just draw a line through the old one so you can reuse it when you want to.........

if someone has stolen your password, or if you left yourself logged in at a public computer terminal at a library or coffee shop or the like, someone could be posting as you.\n\nif you suspect this is the case, change the password on your account immediately.\n\nhave you ever had anyone quote something that you theoretically posted or sent when warning you?  if so, was it something you wrote/sent?  don't forget different people have different tolerances for things, and you need to be mindful of your audience.

try to back get your password. if you have it, change the email used for myspace and even better change the password as well. oh yea, and tell the person who hijacked your myspace to go get a life.

Use the lost password option. The issue is, if you do not remember the secret question, answer and the other information, nobody will believe you are the real owner of the account, and support will not answer your emails!\n\nTHat's a fact of life!\n\n:-)

I'd run a security program as it sounds as if there's a 'Back Door' in your system which is allowing the hacker to sneak in.  This will continue no matter how many times you change your password, the only option being to close this point of access.  try running the best thing you've got, even if it's only the Norton Anti-virus provided by Yahoo.  Today it's email, tomorrow it might be your credit card # so it's in your best interest to follow this advice. Good luck.

First run a viruse scan. They may have added tools that allow to keep coming in. Second if there are any strange files, removed files, modified files you may have been hacked. But there really is no way to know unless they changed something.

You can't ! \nOr you can ask for the password again/or be given a new one if your account is still active.

Hi, from what I've been reading .. it doesn't look good. You can check the links below, but from what I read, if someone has hacked your account and changed the p/w yahoo can't do anything about it .. sorry. Probably the only way would be if someone hacked the hacker.

Report it to yahoo.com ASAP!!\n\nThis could be bigger than you think.  People can use your email and do internet scams leading back to you.  \n\nThere are some yahoo links attached to help assist you to report this theft.\n\nGood luck!!

The problem is that you don't know whats been done to your pc and what other nasty surprises are in store.\nTry a System Restore, it might help with this problem, but it might not undo all the changes. Go to Start - programs - accessories - system tools - system restore and take your pc back to a time before this happened.\n\nIf the hacker got in over the internet through Zone Alarm I'd like to know. (i'm sure other people on this site would too).\nIf they got in by physical access to the pc then try setting a password on Safe Mode.\nIf they've already done that then take the safe option, shred the hard drive and re-install.\nhttp://www.wikihow.com/Password-Protect-Safe-Mode-in-Windows-Xp\nhttp://www.sys-shield.com - AbsoluteShield File Shredder

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
