Every provider, will reset your password for free, when you did setup your account, and you still have access to the account you gave them while setting up their account. Some mail providers like Gmail and Yahoo, even can send a reset code to an old mail address if that was ever connected to the existing account. also for free. Make sure you goto the correct support page and not to a fake address, where they only ask for money.

It probbaly is wrong. Trouble with mobs is it's almost impossible to correct a wrong password. You might have to delete the account on your phone and set it up again.

Hi!
The basic problem when it comes in unable to access such yahoo accounts is that 1. your password and email didn't match in login. You can retrieve email accounts. And update your browser also to convenience.

Point the web browser at http://www.hotmail.com.

If it comes up on another account, sign out of it by clicking the avatar in the upper-right then clicking "Sign out."

If she still can't get into her account, click the "Can't access your account?" link on the Hotmail sign-in page.

First thing is to reset the password next try contacting yahoo customer service about your problem to get info about strange IP address behavior Even ask about the backup of contacts, may be they can help you on this.
Most important thing with yahoo accounts is its very easy to hack it by trying forgot password questions. ( To see what I am saying try forgot password on your id and you will be able to see how simple it is get access to your account by answering 3 secret questions which you had set when creating the yahoo account and even many of your friends might know the answers) So reset your forgot password questions with more tougher ones to crack.
I had the same problem earlier and I had reset my yahoo password several times, but my roommate was able to access my mails without my notice. Then realized that he is accessing my account through forgot password as the questions to retrieve forgot password are the same old ones with questions like what is your birthplace which he already knows very well.
Hope this helps and be safe online as it is very easy to access your financial details and credit card details when your email is hacked.

1. On the Tools menu, click E-mail Accounts.
2. Click Add a new e-mail account, and then click Next.
3. Click POP3, and then click Next.
4. Under User Information, do the following:
1. In the Your Name box, type your full name the way that you want it to appear to other people.
2. In the E-mail Address box, type your Member ID (or username), followed by the @ symbol and domain name.
5. Under Server Information, do the following:
1. In the Incoming mail server (POP3) box, type the server name from the chart below that corresponds to your e-mail address.

1. In the User Name box, type your Yahoo Member ID (or username). Do not include the @ symbol or domain name.
2. In the Password box, type your password.
3. Select the Remember password check box.

 Note   You have the option to have Outlook remember your password by typing it in the Password box and selecting the Remember password check box. Having Outlook remember your password means that you won't have to type your password each time you access the account; however, it also means that the account is vulnerable to anyone who has access to your computer. Use strong passwords that combine uppercase and lowercase letters, numbers, and symbols. Weak passwords don't mix these elements. Strong password: Y6dh!et5. Weak password: House27. Passwords should be 8 or more characters in length. A pass phrase that uses 14 or more characters is better. For more information, see Help protect your personal information with strong passwords.It is critical that you remember your password. If you forget your password, Microsoft cannot retrieve it. Store the passwords that you write down in a secure place away from the information that they help protect.

1. To verify that your account is working, click Test Account Settings. If there is missing or incorrect information, such as your password, you will be prompted to supply or correct it. Make sure your computer is connected to the Internet.
2. Click More Settings.
3. On the General tab, under Mail Account, type Yahoo! Mail.
4. Click the Outgoing Server tab, and then select the My outgoing server (SMTP) requires authentication check box.
5. Click Use same settings as my incoming mail server, and then click OK.
6. Click Next, and then click Finish.

 Notes 

• Do not select the Log on using Secure Password Authentication (SPA) check box.
• Unless specified by Yahoo! Mail, all server and address entries are typed in lowercase letters.

Bruce, Windows Security does not have the ability to block and e-mail account. The real problem is, is that you just forgot what the password is.

Same thing you will get from your e-mail client like Outlook 2003 or 2007, if you can't provide the correct password.

Go to the login page of Ymail and use the link "I can't access my account". Answer the questions, follow the instructions, and provide an alternate e-mail address, and the password will be e-mailed to you.

Please let me know if you have any questions regarding your e-mail problem.

Thank you and good luck!
