LOCKED MYSELF OUT OF MY EMAIL

Sort:
_Jellyfish_

Okay, so I changed my password yesterday. I am POSITIVE of what I set my new password to be.

BUT it won't let me log on! I tried my old password but it was like no soap. And now I've used up my chances at logging on and it is now locked for 12 hours.

WHAT DO I DO?!?!?!?! I seriously have a lot of information on that account and I've gotta get it back! Can anyone give me any advice? Or is it hopeless?!

you do the forgot password thing!

_Jellyfish_

I did. But it wanted me to chose a secondary email address that I couldn't verify for some reason. :/

Niiiiiiiceee work! XD Well that's unfortunate.. :-/

12 hours?! Goodness. Is it a gmail? There's gotta be a way to fix it so dont worry! Just contact support. You do have a second email right?

_Jellyfish_

Haha, thanks xD

Nope, I've got Yahoo. I've got two email addresses for the same account and several disposible ones. Do you mean a second account?

Like an email outside of Yahoo?

_Jellyfish_

Nope. :/

Yeah idk if it'll help. I know I've had to reset my yahoo multiple times.

Must have a #

Must have a capitalized

cannot include me name. my normal password keeps none of that criteria.

_Jellyfish_

Hmm, okay the problem is that the secret questions option doesn't appear.
