Your password can’t be reset online.
For security reasons, you need contact Yahoo Customer Care to help you reset your password.
If you used an alias or profile name, we recommend that you try again with the Yahoo ID associated with the alias. If not, you can contact Customer Care to help reset your Yahoo password.
Why do I have to wait?

I wear a lot of hats...
"The solutions and answers provided on Experts Exchange have been extremely helpful to me over the last few years. I wear a lot of hats - Developer, Database Administrator, Help Desk, etc., so I know a lot of things but not a lot about one thing. Experts Exchange gives me answers from people who do know a lot about one thing, in a easy to use platform." -Todd S.

i just created a brand new yahoo email, which I was trying to get for years... i guess it was not available, and suddenly, today I got it... also, I can access to my other yahoo address & use the tools provided online (reset password, forgot id, forgot password etc)
Not sure what happened to my 12 years old account, and still dont know what to do, where to contact... all numbers are busy / useless or just pointing to help.yahoo.com and hangup...

i could create new account (tested that option to see if something is wrong with my pc/browser/cookies etc)...
but I need my old account which I used for more than a decade... I'm using that email in so many places... i need to get it back, but now I don't know how...

found another page
when I click "mobile number" it asks for phone, then captcha, then it goes back to phone number... infinite loop...
Try to reset your password first using your alternate address or mobile number.

Ok, finally found customer Support @ 1 (800) 730-2669
They said, my account is gone and nothing to do
It is being recycled now, and after recycled, It will be available again like after three months...
But, I can create new yahoo, and add monitoring service to keep an eye of names that I want to get, by paying $$$
Reason, for such stupid thing is "I did not login to yahoo from my laptop" for a long time!
I am using my yahoo email daily, every hour, every 2-3 minutes, it is setup on my outlook & iphone, I am using it all the time, send & receive emails all the time...
But this is not enough apparently, and to keep email address, I SHOULD LOGIN PERIODICALLY FROM LAPTOP/DESKTOP
or, they will delete my account without any notice!
The help desk guy said it is written on "Terms & Conditions" but I could not find anything related to laptop/desktop here

strange thing... after that call, i got an email saying my account is deleted upon user request... mail says, reply to the email if this is not the case... I did, replied, saying i did not request such thing...
will call again... this is getting too messy...
will call again... this is getting too messy...
After numerous calls, somebody admitted their mistake and escalated the issue to the engineers and problem is resolved after 24 hours :) Now I can use my email and did not lose anything...
Reason: People with xxxx@rogers.com (canada) accounts may have this issue because of some bugs (?) on their systems...
