    Use better harder to guess passwords and change them often. Good luck getting yahoo to do anything or even respond to you for that matter. Keep backups and alternate records of important contents in a second location.

    Access your e-mail using security questions or by contacting yahoo or email them and tell them that any change in the past hours are not made by the owner of the email, do not forget to mention them your latest password just to prove that you are the owner.

    You can't access your email or you forgot your password or someone hacked into your account? which is it? if you forgot your password, you can recover it by using your alternate email. If someone hacked into your account, then change your password.

    It is better to knock the yahoo call center. I think they give you exact information.

    It can be recovered via security questions, if you have not forgot them, or hacker has not changed them.

    first let us know, did you have any alternate email given in it? if yes then just lick that I forgot my passwords and you will be mailed your pass to alternate email. otherwise there will be some other way to be mentioned on the process like security question and so on.

    You need to contact Yahoo to get your account back. In the future, use a password manager like Lastpass or Keepass to keep this from happening to you again.

    contact yahoo and tell them your problem. use your alternative email or security question. those advice above are right. anyway, if you're going to make your password make sure you use strong ones so that it won't be able for hackers to easily hack your account. and also be careful when you receive emails telling you to upgrade your yahoo account etc. sometimes, hackers send you those kind of emails to get your passwords. (and people always deceive because they use even the yahoo logo to make you believe that it's really yahoo). so be cautious always, especially when you have a lot of important transactions on your email.
