Getting a password reset the hard way via Yahoo

[deadfish]

I created an new yahoo email address for a VPN service... now that I need to get into my account I need to login with that email address which I forgot the password to,

The answers to these 2 security questions was no help either.. I must have spelled the answers while drunk or something. Nothing works.

So the final option is to call this 1-800 number and tell them a code.
Yahoo, never answers the phone. And because I am half way around the world.. the time schedule sucks for me.. for when the phone service is active.

Has anyone experienced getting through to yahoo for a password reset.. do you really got to talk to someone or is it automated?

Have you incorporate alternate email? Have you tried this?
Log in... "I can't access my account Help", it will take to another page choose "Forgot Password", then it will ask alternate email...

I get asked if I want it sent to mobile... which was fake when I set it up.

Then even if you contact Yahoo support, they will ask a lot of questions to ensure you are the legit owner of the account. If you cannot answer those questions, you cannot prove your ownership of the account.. Sorry then.
