Yahoo login problem

Just login with the correct account name and correct password. When you did not use the account for over one year it could be your account no longer exists. When you used it recent, goto the login screen and when you can't login, try I forgot my password, I forgot my account and it both don't work, try my account is hacked.
It could be Yahoo can give back control over the account, if you did setup the security correct.
If nothing works, because your security system was not setup correct the only thing you can do is try to setup a new account.
Try this page:
Support is always free of charge from Yahoo

Go here: https://edit.yahoo.com/forgotroot/
- and choose "I have a problem with my password".

If you have an alternate email on file Yahoo can send you a password reset link or you can correctly answer your secret questions to change your password immediately.

Please note: When you change your password, it can sometimes take up to 24 hours for the change to take effect.

If you forgot the answers to your secret questions and didn't put an alternate email address or mobile phone number into your account, Yahoo! won't be able to send you a new password and you will need to contact Yahoo directly.

Click here to fill out a Yahoo help form:

Select Yahoo Account as the product, Password and Sign In as the category and Unable to Sign In as the sub-category. Scroll down and click Email Support Agent to send your request.

For your security, you must be able to verify your identity before Yahoo can help you.
If you can successfully change your password and get back into your account, be sure to update your account information:

You can get a new password, a Yahoo! ID reminder, or both. If you forgot your Yahoo! ID or password, go to the Sign-in Problems page.
If you forgot your Yahoo! ID, you need to provide three pieces of information so we can confirm your identity:

• Your birthday
• Your ZIP or postal code (at the time you created your Yahoo! account or when you last updated it)
• Your alternate email address -Note: You must have access to this email address
• Country code (at the time you created your Yahoo! account or when you last updated it)

Be sure to provide the same information you gave the last time you registered for a new Yahoo! ID or password or the last time you updated your account.
If you forgot your password, you can create a new one. But first you'll have to provide the following information so we can confirm your identity:

• Your Yahoo! ID
• Alternate email address, mobile phone number, or the answers to your secret questions

A Reset Your Password link will be sent to your alternate email address. Click the link and enter your new password in the Reset your password page.
If you entered your secret question incorrectly or forgot what you originally entered, for security reasons, we cannot tell you what your Yahoo! ID is or let you create a new password.

Hi. There's other way to recover your password to your email account. You can change your alternate email account if you can login to our email account which you forgot your password. It is better to create new email account with regards to your problem. One more thing, you can recover your password if you still know your answer to your security question to your email account.

Try updating Java, adobe flashplayer and framework. All of these add-ons are needed for Yahoo Messenger to open and run.

Did you check to see if your windows firewall or your antivirus is not blocking you,then you need to unblock and allow .if that is not the case,log on to yahoo and go to my yahoo! and see if you can log on with your ID,if not,go to create an account,and use your old ID,if it tells you it is available then your account has been wiped out or deleted for some reason,if it is not available,then it exists,contact yahoo www.yahoo.com/support/help,and give all the details and they will walk you thru it.Or you just might want to create an account. good luck.

You will need to do a password recovery and answer some questions that you answered when you signed up fo yahoo mail. If you forgot these, you will need to contact Yahoo support. If they are unable to help you, then you are out of luck. No expert here is going to tell you how to "crack" your account or anything like that. How do we know that you are the true owner of the account??? Best bet is to do password recovery. If that fails contact Yahoo support. Best of Luck!
