Yahoo has just locked me out of my own account, insisting that I change my password (just because they say that I must). Should this be a legal action by web sites? Is this similar to having government officials locking people out of their homes?
Do you own Yahoo.com? No? Then it's not "your" account. It's Yahoo's account, which they are granting you access to. Hyperbole about "extorting" at "gunpoint" and "forcing people from their homes" isn't going to help your case when making comparisons to changing your password on a free internet service. If you don't update your password regularly, it is at greater risk of being compromised. This is basic Internet 101. If your account is compromised, it puts other Yahoo users at risk, and forces them to spend time and energy dealing with your own incompetence in securing your account. This is why Yahoo, and most every other website Terms of Service, requires you to take responsibility for your own account security, and expressly tells you that your access may be suspended for this (and often, for any) reason. Literally every time you use Yahoo, you agree to these terms.What would be a better analogy is why you think you have a legal right not to be forcibly ejected from some random stranger's private house after you refuse to follow their publicly posted house rules. I mean, if we're going with a house analogy.
How do I recover my Yahoo account when I can't access my backup email or backup phone?
How much do you need it? Can you walk away and not distress about it? Or is the code to your bank vault in there? I hope not actually. Yahoo has been sold and the people running it now are not the same people that created it. (With a few notable exceptions, but that’s not going to help you either.)The new people may have great processes for this, but I didn’t even try to recover my y!mail account when I worked there because it was so hard to find the right person to get the right answer. AND I could walk over to their desks once I figured that out because I worked in Sunnyvale.If you really need this I’m so sorry. I don’t know where you should go anymore either. Similar questions have been asked on here before. Check out if they got any good answers.

I cannot sighn in to yahoo messenger?
Is there a chance that someone hacked your messenger? Could they have changed your password? This happened to my friend's hotmail account. Did you try clicking on "forgot my password"? Did you have a backup e-mail address that they could send the password to? Sorry I can't help more. I hope this helps a little bit. F

My husband locked me out of our computer. We have windows XP and I need to know how to bypass the main login!
Use LoginRecovery software. it's a small floppy sized software. You can use it to get the password. Or Use a bootable CD/DVD and rename the file sam. It resides in Windows\system32\config. Copy sam from windows\repair to previous location. Or A very simple way to try out. Just Press Alt+ctrl+del and del again(ie. twice). You will be prompted for Username and Password. Type Administrator in the Username box and PAssword as blank. This works in 70% cases.
