Use your secondary email to gain access.  Or find a machine capable of taking you back to the period of time when you had full control over the email address.  Or email yahoo support.

its called phishing.\nAnother site pretended to be yours and just\ngot your username and password.\nI recommend being more careful on the exact website you are at. If you have important information delete it from that account and create a new one or change your password on the existing one which is probably the easiest

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.

You can get a new password, a Yahoo! ID reminder, or both. Visit the Sign-in Problems page and supply some basic verification information, such as your birthday and the ZIP or postal code you provided when you registered. \n\nMake sure to provide the same information you gave during registration or when you last updated your account. Without the correct verification information, you will not be able to obtain a new password.

If you remember the username you used, you can recover your password using the password recovery form. This question would be better fielded to a Yahoo administrator.

I believe you might be out of luck.  Yahoo uses your security question to verify your identity when resetting your password.  You should contact Yahoo Account Verification and see if there is anything that they can do for you. They will verify your personal information that you entered when you opened your account and then issue you a new password. They can be reached by calling 408-349-1572 option 2, option 2.

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.

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:-)

request for new password from yahoo (you should know the answer to your secret question and the zip code you've provided when you first created your account...and from there set a new password and edit your profile)

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 !!!

Don't think there is any way of finding out babe, but its obviously someone that knows your password etc. Change it asap so they can't access your account x x x

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...

firstly why don't you change your user name instead of mikeo_2121 to mikeo_2122 or something rather similar.\n \nSecondly are you sure your email was not hijacked again (Definetly if you used the same password)\n\nAre you typing the username/password correctly( maybe you have forgotten them if so try the link forgot username/password)\n\nOr finnaly just get another account with hotmail or another email service provider personally i do not like hotmail as it recieves alot of Junk/spam mail (GO YAHOO i give it 5 STAR for a free email provider)
