Hi. I recently got a couple of e-mails from Yahoo saying that my password had been reset. I thought that was odd, and I tried to log in, obviously to no avail. I went to "forgot password" and went through the steps, only to find that either I really really can't recall my answer, or that THAT has been changed too! I have no way of getting into my account now! (This is an alternate account.) What should I do? The only way I think this could have happened besides being phished (which isn't likely) is that when I used my account as school last time, I didn't log out or something. I'm usually VERY careful about that so it isn't likely, but it is the most likely thing I can think of. Help!
