Should I simply drop Yahoo all together and open another type of mail account? Shay Bullocks
You don't have to close a compromised account. You can just update the password and that should uncompromise it for the most part. Just make sure you have encryption enabled if you are not accessing it from their https site..

Your account may be locked for security reasons
This happens because somebody tried to make a large amount of attempts to guess your password and enter your account. Many times, it's not actually someone trying to access the account, they just know that by sending a huge amount of requests, they can cause the user problems by having their account closed.
The servers understand that a human can make about 5 or 6 attempts a minute, this would be normal if you had forgotten your password or made a typo etc... and at this rate, it would take 18011 years to guess your password.
An automated program however, could make 1000s of requests a minute or even more! Its when the server experiences these numbers, for your own security, it locks your account.
Fix:
First, visit http://login.yahoo.com/config/login Don't Worry! The first attempt will fail, say incorrect password or something. It's the second attempt that matters. What you will see this time, is that you have a word verification. This is a secure system by which only humans could be making the request, bots cannot see the text, they see encrypted numbers.
For some, this is it, the account will log in again! For others, it's not so. You have to wait up to 48hrs for the account to come back.

You should change your password immediately. It happened to me one time, I couldn't sign on to my yahoo messenger and the software advised me to change the password.
It was resolved by changing the password.
Testimonial: "changing my password was recommended in asking the question from my yahoo account. my concern is ,will this assure my contacts will not get spam mail."
