tacotanker27 · #1 (**permalink**) 11-07-2007, 03:57 AM

I just changed my password today, and forgot what I changed it too on Yahoo. I went through all the steps to recieve a new password, but it came to the question "Answer your Secret Question". I completly forgot the answer for this and have found no way to bypass it. Does anybody know how to get a new password? I really need to get back into my email. I have over 4000 saved emails and contacts that I need to get to.

Well if he's forgotten the answer, it doesn't matter.

but those questions are suppose to ask general facts about the person, such as his mothers maiden name.

Dig around, there is a toll free number you can call. They may be able to help.

Ouch there should be another way if them reseting your password on there site. I know at least you use to be able to do it. Might have to look around the site a bit, or search or it if need be. Unless they have taken it off, which I wouldn't see a reason too.

Good luck hopefully you figure it out.

Wow that is really good idea, I would never think about doing that.

Also i'm glad that you found your password and that your ready to go again.

Alright...I posted this on 11/06 and sent an email to Yahoo asking for advice, and it took them till 11/13 to reply. I just wanted to point out how Yahoo takes care of their customers. It takes them just under a week to reply to an email I titled as VERY IMPORTANT...
