    Cannot get into yahoo account but i know my password and username are correct as i have an email program where i can check them. Could someone have hacked in and changed it? There are lots of scams on hacking yahoo but it is just to get your password. Can it be done for real. It is inconvenient but there is nothing worth anything to anyone in that account

    Possibly not the same thing, but something similar happened to me when my web host decided to change my password without bothering to tell me. I used the "Forgot user name or password" facility in their log in page to find out what had happened.

    I don't have a yahoo account so I can't complete the "forgot password" wizard.

    When you click on the "Can't access account" you'll be asked a few questions. Is one of them that you've forgotten your answers?

    There might be a number to call them directly. In this case they might ask you a few security questions like what are the last few mails in your account and when you last accessed it or name a few contacts.
