Default forgoten password!!

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.

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.

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...
