Forgot my email id & password of one mail id

Dear Sir,

Whilst I was working with an MNC in India, I created a mail id which was to be used only for that Company. However, after I left them, after 5 years, I stopped using that id (almost 4 years now). All along I remembered the id & pw; however I now do not remember any part of it except that my password contained or ended in the numbers 120505.

Could you kindly help me retrieve the id & pw. My other yahoo mails are [email protected] & [email protected]

Many thanks

Best Regards,
KC

Hi Kuruvilla
Since you are desparate in getting the old email back, I believe the email address shown above belongs to someone else.
It is easier to get a brand new email address from yahoo or gmail or hotmail. The company's give you email address and they delete it as soon as the employee leaves the company.
So, my suggestion is not to waste time chasing the email address which probably does not exist.
Goto www.gmail.com and signup for a new email address.
Best of luck

Sir i forgot my password.I do remember my 1st secret question but i cant remember my 2nd secret question,nor do i kept any alternate email id,i hve some important mails in and i want them,its important...

Hello,
Unfortunately, the official answer from Yahoo is that if you forgot your secret questions you will need to create a new account.

From Yahoo: http://help.yahoo.com/l/us/yahoo/edit/id_password/edit-20.html

You can get a new password, a Yahoo! ID reminder, or both. If you forgot your Yahoo! ID or password, go to the Sign-in Problems page.
If you forgot your Yahoo! ID, you need to provide three pieces of information so we can confirm your identity:
  • Your birthday
  • Your ZIP or postal code (at the time you created your Yahoo! account or when you last updated it)
  • Your alternate email address -Note: You must have access to this email address
  • Country code (at the time you created your Yahoo! account or when you last updated it)
Be sure to provide the same information you gave the last time you registered for a new Yahoo! ID or password or the last time you updated your account.
If you forgot your password, you can create a new one. But first you'll have to provide the following information so we can confirm your identity:
  • Your Yahoo! ID
  • Alternate email address, mobile phone number, or the answers to your secret questions
A Reset Your Password link will be sent to your alternate email address. Click the link and enter your new password in the Reset your password page.


If you entered your secret question incorrectly or forgot what you originally entered, for security reasons, we cannot tell you what your Yahoo! ID is or let you create a new password.


Please let me know if I can help you further.

Regards,

KYTechnology

Dear sir/madam, i forget my yahoo id password

Hello there!

Unfortunately, if you have forgotten your username or password and even your security question/answer, you can no longer recover your email services. You just have to create a new one.

However, try to click the "forgot password" and then the reset password link might be sent to your secondary email address, if you register one.

Good luck!
