Could be but i am not sure about using the same password for 2 diffrent user names. Did you wait for a bit before retrying to get in?. If not then give it a try in about 1 hour also like i suggested to surfing if you continue to have trouble reload and change the password but keep your same user name if that is something you dont want to try use the help link i included in that question also let me know what you find and if you need more.

Using the same password for two different usernames is not a problem at all.
When an account is locked, it's only for a certain period of time (may be an hr) but
not forever. Don't worry.

U cant recover forgotten IDs.
No problem with diff ids have the same password.
Clik on no network detection in the preference of the messenger.
yahoo never locks anyone's account for security issue unless some1 does something offensive and against the law of yahoo.
Dont forget to accept the answr if u like it.
