If you are talking about the Facebook account , the procedure is to click on forgot password link .. answer the questions they will ask for identification ..and after that will let you insert another account password.. i think they send a link in the mail for that ..There is no other way ..
This procedure is for all social networks .. and will work for another one too ..Just press on the link and go on with the procedure.. If you have trouble with the questions ..ask the person who helped you making the account .. cause if you are not the one who made it ..you might not be able to answer some of the questions..

Yahoo.com tells me that my password has expired. What do I need to do?

If you ever find yourself with a locked Yahoo account, it's likely due to multiple incorrect password attempts.

As a security measure, Yahoo's email and chat client servers automatically lock your account to prevent unauthorized access after there have been multiple invalid password entries.

The ID Lock security measure safeguards a Yahoo account from unauthorized users who try to access your account without permission.Cause

After multiple incorrect password entries to a Yahoo account, the server automatically sets a lock on it.
This happens because every time a Yahoo Account holder logs into his account, he's logged in with a cookie.

A cookie is an information packet that proves you are the valid account holder.
However, when a person tries to access an account with many failed attempts, the cookies expires, triggering the ID lock on the account.
24-Hour Wait

A Yahoo account holder must wait up to 24 hours before accessing the account again.
The lock on the account expires within 24 hours from the time the account was locked.

Unlock Using Another Server Since Yahoo! has many servers around the world, a user can log into his account by visiting a different Yahoo server address. (See Below.)
http://thingsaboutcomputer.blogspot.com/2009/03/how-to-unlock-yahoo-when-account-is.html

Copy and paste a Yahoo! server URL into the address bar of your Internet browser to access the website.
Enter the Yahoo! ID and password in their respective fields, and click on "Log in" to access your yahoo account.
Avoid Yahoo Account Locks
To prevent future Yahoo! account locks, a user should limit the number of times he tries to enter a password.

If an account holder has forgotten his password, he should use the "Forgot Passsword" feature to reset the password.

I think my email has been hack it want let me sign in I know I'm using the right pass word for years

try to log into the mail directly on the web page ..and not from outlook or so ...Another thing ...for example if you use yahoo ...they can have server issues ..and sometimes it is almost impossible to log in for a while ...wait 24 hours and try again ...This stands as a solution in case you typed the wrong password for a few times..and now it is locked as a prevention for 24 hours ..it is standard procedure when you type a wrong password...
Also check not to have the cap-lock button pressed on ...cause in this case even the correct spelled passord will not work cause will be written in majors..
You can take in consideration a hack or a bad joke made by someone whom knew your password..and changed it ...for this ..you will have to get to the domain page ..(yahoo.com mail ...or gmail.com ...or msn.com ..or hotmail..etc..) and in there try to log in ...If the caplock is not on ...and the password is the correct one..but it still refuses to let you log..on ..take a look for the forgot password..link ...and engage it for to start the recover or change password procedure..
Usually they will ask you a few questions that only you or the person that made the email account knows ...and after that will either provide you with a link where you can chage the password..or will direct you to the page where you can do that ..
For some domains..like yahoo..it is availale a secondary email attached on the account ..and if you have such a thing will be easier..cause soon as you report the forgoten password..they will send you a password changer link in the secondary email ..which you previously should have attached on the account ..
If the password is endeed changed..and you can not answer to the security questions..or you do not have a secondary email address linked to the account ..the password will be impossible to change ..and the account lost for ever..best to make another one ..and change the email address in any important location you used it ...(banck ...job related...and such ..)

My yahoo account has been locked

Hi and welcome to FixYa!

did you receive a notification message from yahoo that your account is locked? if yes, the locking time is 24hours. The account that is locked is due to multiple log ins using a wrong password. and locks after 3 or so attempts.

Wait until the lock time limit had lapsed, then log in again using the correct password.]

You may need to try and log in and hit Forgot My Password if you cannot log in again when your account is unlocked. Do not lock yourself out again, do not attempt password more than twice if you know it won't work. Each time you try to log into your account, it may restart your time and lock it down again during the waiting period.

Do NOT touch it for at least 24 hours.

If you wish to change your password after this period;


Go to yahoo.com

click sign in;

click i cannot access my account;

click forgot password,

click next

Enter in your email address, the security code and try to reset your password. You can also use your alternate email address, or security questions for this.

Then try and sign in again.

Dear sir, some one locked my yahoo pasword how can recover my password

From Yahoo.

This message is seen when an attempt to login has failed multiple time. As a security measure, your account has been locked to prevent unauthorized users from being able to log in to it. If you have not recently tried to log in, this is not necessarily a cause for concern. Another Yahoo! user may have mistakenly used your ID when attempting to log in to their own account.
The lock on your account will expire 24 hours after it was first locked. Don't worry-the lockout time period won't reset each time you try to sign in while the account is still locked. You can try to sign in again after the lockout time has expired. Note: Yahoo! is unable to provide you with the exact time that your account was locked or when it will be unlocked.
If you are still unable to sign in with your new password, please see the password problems help page for some common reasons why you are seeing the "Invalid Password" error.

I am locked out of my account. It says invalid password. Help me please. I have had the same id and password for over five years

Try to relog in after a few hours, it might be temporarily blocked due to excessive log in attempt.

If you think you typed your password correctly, check the following:
  • Is your CAPS LOCK key on? Passwords are case-sensitive, which means that "PASSWORD," "PaSsWoRd," and "password" are seen by Yahoo! as three different passwords. Try typing your password again, making sure to use uppercase and lowercase letters exactly as you typed them when you created your password.
  • Did you sign in with the correct ID? Make sure that you are using the correct ID (user name) when signing in to your account. If you have forgotten your ID, you can search for your ID online.
  • Have you changed your password within the last 24 hours? If you recently requested a new password or changed your password, wait 24 hours before typing your new password. Waiting allows your account to update. Otherwise, if you've entered your password too many times, you'll be locked out of your account for 24 hours from the last time you entered your password. This is a security feature. A good work around before you change your password is to close your browser, go to the Sign In page, clear your browser's cache, and carefully type your password again.
  • Delete your cookies. If your cookie isn't being accepted correctly, you'll be logged out of your account as soon as you move to a different page. To delete your cookies, follow the instructions in the online help for your browser. For example, in Internet Explorer 7.0 and 8.0, from the Help menu, select Internet Explorer Help, and then type delete cookies in the Search box:
  • Try another browser. For example, if you're using Firefox, try Internet Explorer instead.
If you're still having problems, please request a new password. After you receive your new password, you can change it.

I try to log into my facebook and it says too many password changes now I cant get into my facebook what can I do?

Hello,
You need to wait for around 24 hours for logging in. Trying repeatedly with wrong passwords or too many password changes triggers Facebook's login lock system.

Good luck!
