Yahoo Password

[zsycho]

hi friends,

I am getting it all straight.

I had a yahoo email ID way back.Now I want to login into it but my password don't seem to work.
Password reset requires alternate mail ID which too i don't remember what it was at that time.

Can I somehow login to my account ? anyhow !!

any help appreciated. . . thanks

No you cant.
It would be very bad, if one could login to yahoo accounts without verification.

Probably your only chance is to contact yahoo and somehow find a way to prove, that you are the legitimate user of that mail account.

What if I want that mail ID to be permanantly disabled ?

Essentially the same story.
If there is a way do disable/delete the mailaccount, then only
a) yahoo
b) the legitimate account owner
can do it.

Or this scenario would be possible:
- user A has an account
- user B doesnt like user A
- user B tries to disable user A´s account
- Now, if there was no verification, he might succeed.

So verification is essential.
There is the standard way (login),
then a fallback (password recovery).
These are automated.

If both are not sufficient, manual interaction is needed aka: contact yahoo.
