You can delete you account anyway by going to my account and deleteing your account, but I would rather like to tell you other options.\n+Scan your harddisk with any antivirus, chances are that you are victim of a trojan virus which is sending password to the hacker everytime you log into your account.\n\n+Change your password and check your alternate email address.\n\n+Check you pop mail settings and mail forwarding settings in  options in mail.yahoo.com\n\nHope you wont give up deleting your account and fight back well to the hacker..\n\nA hacker myself\n\ns2b

The only way I know of is to log in, then go up to "Account Settings", and at the top there should be 3 options, View My Profile, Edit My Profile, and Cancel Account. Cancel Account should delete it. Since you can't log in, however, I think the only way to do it is just make a new one.
