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

The only way is 'forgot password'\n\nIf that has been unsuccessful, then there is no way you can recover an id of which a password has been forgotten or lost.\n\nYahoo identifies a user based on 3 things.\nDATE OF BIRTH\nZIP CODE\nSECRET ANSWER.\n\nIf any of these does not match the original database, then yahoo does not give out passwords.

Chances are you wont get it back, and not knowing whats been done whilst they've had access to your account, I'd be inclined to not want it back. I would suggest you report it to Yahoo if you havent already then create a new account with a new name. Just make sure your password is secure, make it upper/lowercase sensitive, with words and numbers. Double check your PC security to make sure there are no other threats of anyone getting into more than just your yahoo account.   good luck :)

use the Yahoo HELP line and ask them to reset your password, they CANNOT tell you what it is, as it is encrypted, they can only reset it for you, then you change it to the one you want.

your account is just your yahoo screen name i believe

You cant , unless his personal information is public. Try using a search engine (google?) and look out for postings in forums (in all probability he would have mentioned his real name).

dont you remember your secret question and secret answeR? if not, then you would need someone to get it back for you. I could help you out but i would need a few things... i need the userid and i need to see the person online. I would be then be able to get the email... but since yahoo is free, get a new one...

If he im'd you he already has your name/id. But you can look in your messenger archives for his message, and reply to it from there.

try emailing yahoo, letting them know what's going on and request to reset your password. other than that I don't think you do.

ask him is he using the right username with the right password?  if nothing works he can always make a new account

you should report this to yahoo or whatever your internet provider is. ask them abou it, then change your email and everything. you should also warn your friends. the hacker might have taken their info too.

yeah that happened to my step daughter the other day (on yahoo). It said someone else was in her name, we changed it that night and the very next day it did it again. We reinstalled it twice, and changed the pasword again. So far it hasn't occurred again. My zone alarm also said yahoo was doing some sort of suspicious behavior like spying or keylogging or something?????
