Help! Problems with my Yahoo email address

Help! I'm currently locked out of my yahoo email address. Every time I enter my ID and password, its asking me to answer a security question set in 2009 and I have no idea what the answer is. Every time I answer incorrectly 3 times, the account gets locked for 12 hrs. Yahoo have deactivated my back-up email address as I haven't used it in ages. Is there anyway I can get round this ridiculous "security" feature which is just stopping me from logging in and nobody else?

If there isn't any way of resolving this, I'll have to set up a new email address. :-(

  1. If they have an alternate EMail address on file for you, they might send your log-in info there.

  2. Then I closed Yahoo account because someone report me to my photos porn (well placed) in Flick.
    You can send a questionnaire to Yahoo, but many requirements as naciemiento tepiden, naciemiento place, full name or phone (if you added it at the time) ...

  4. Something similar happened to me several years ago. I just gave up. I got no where dealing with yahoo and decided to never use their email service again.

  5. i hope you find a resolution to this so you can acess your e-mail . . but if not perhaps start a new e-mail address and begin using it on this blog so reders and fans can write to you . . (michael g.b.)

  6. I have emails from my past n haven't been able to get ahold of them either. Though I'd love to, as curious on emails.:)) good luck as well as so love your blog as it so helps my mind n body thoughts n moving forward towards being me, as would my email truly do from like 2 years ago. Ironically it's still my email on Fetlife.com but can't recover my password / go figure that one out/ as yes I have password but can't seem to change it n when I do, it goes elsewhere

  7. Just contact yahoo via alternative mail adress with the request to reset the password. Then they want yout to send a copy of your id. After that you have your eMail Account back
