Unlock Your Yahoo! IDTo first unlock and ID, you must understand how it was locked in the first place. “locking” an ID, is fairly simple to do. All it takes is 32 invalid attempts on The ID. With this said, This is how you unlock your Yahoo! ID
First go to http://login.yahoo.com/config/login?.redir=ORION
After the page loads, you must input the username and password, then the validation word
Now, your ID Is unlocked.I tried this, it seemed to just take me to the Yahoo login page, but after I logged in there I was able to get on my messenger.
thank but this link for locked id and i test it but my id strangely locked.It seems my previous post and link was wrong. I think my account unlocked itself. I deliberately locked one of my accounts today, tried the link and it didnt work. Funny I also saw this idea posted somewhere else, just doesnt seem to work.
Here is what yahoo says about locked accounts:Why is my account locked for security reasons?If you receive a message stating that your account has been locked for security reasons, this means that there have been too many attempts to sign in to your account with the incorrect password. As a security measure, your account has been locked to prevent unauthorized users from being able to access it. If you haven’t been trying to sign in to your account with the wrong password, this is not necessarily cause for concern. It could simply be the result of another user mistakenly thinking that your ID is theirs. (To learn more about account security, please visit the Yahoo! Security Center.) The lock on your account will expire 12 hours after it was initially locked — the lockout period will not reset each time you attempt to sign in while the account is still locked. You can try to sign in again after the lock has expired. We are unable to provide you with the exact time that your account was locked or when it will be unlocked.
