How to change back to Yahoo
Log in to your yahoo mail account
In your web browser go to the yahoo mail home page sign in to your account using your yahoo ID and password, then click the yellow sign in button. Once you've successfully logged in you'll see your email folders on the left and the what's new and inbox tabs in the middle.
Choose the mail classic option
On the upper right side of the page there are three links -- Mobile, Options, and Help. Click Options, and when the drop down menu appears, choose mail classic
Confirm that you want to switch back
A dialog box will pop up with two choices -- switch to yahoo mail classic and cancel. If you're sure you want to switch, click the first option; otherwise, choose cancel to keep the new yahoo mail.

Depending on your computer's speed and your internet connection, the switch may take several seconds. When it's completed, you'll be looking at the old familiar yahoo mail classic interface.

Hi,

If your Yahoo account password doesn't work, you will have to reset the password by using the Yahoo password reset wizard.

To open the password reset wizard, click here

Then on the page which opens, select "My password doesn't work" from the options and click Next.

Enter your email id and also identify and enter the security code displayed in the captcha box.

Now click Next button. On the next page, select the alternate email id or the answers to the two security questions which you have provided while registering the email account.

You will then receive a password reset email from Yahoo on your alternate email address.

Follow the instructions in the email to reset the password. Hope this solves your problem.

For more help and clarifications, please feel free to reply to this post.

Thanks for using FixYa

try to check the internet connection that you have if it is okay.by unplugging the router or modem them re insert it again.

Most likely it is a problem with your internet provider as i just viewed my yahoo mail. I would suggest refreshing the page. If that doesn't work, quit your internet provider and start it up again. If that doesn't work than i would restart your computer.

Try going to Yahoo's account recovery page: https://edit.yahoo.com/forgotroot

If that doesn't solve the issue, please post your Windows version, Yahoo messenger version, any error messages and as much relevant information as possible.
