I had the same problem... but I just solved mine. All I did was acted like i forgot my passsword. When I got to my other email and clicked on the link in my inbox to "change my password", I was redirected to the page to create a new password. I ended up creating a new password and when I was finished, I was signed in on the email that I originally couldn't get into. Try that and see if it works for you... Hope I could help(:

If you account is now locked, try the following options:

1- Go to https://edit.yahoo.com/forgotroot/
Choose: " I have a problem with my password "
This will give you more tries of answering your security questions without the threat of being blocked.

2- After 12 or 24 hours try your password again. If you get locked again, wait another day and try again. Do this for 3 or more times. Eventually Yahoo will let you in, or it might not.

3- Try to sign-in from a different page:
◦Yahoo Account -- http://login.yahoo.com
◦Yahoo Mail -- http://mail.yahoo.com
◦My Yahoo -- http://my.yahoo.com/

Finally, if you think there is no way in hell that you will ever remember the answers for your security questions, contact these guys:

The contact you mentioned are not always closed, as they are bound with rules.
