Usually, when you are using a different computer (and not the one that you usually use to access Yahoo Mail), or from a different location (e.g. you are in a different city, state or country than your home location), Yahoo knows that. And, it asks you for additional (security) information, to make sure it is YOU ... and not someone else who has stolen your account id and password.
So, the additional security questions that you'd provided is meant to protect you.
One way to avoid/skip this (being asked security question, etc.) is to use your (regular) computer all the time to access your Yahoo mail account ... e.g. an not different computers. Another way is to check off the box "Keep me signed in" when you log into your account.... and (depending on the period you'd selected in your Accounts profile), you will stay signed in ... for as long as you want (presumably on your own/regular computer) until you sign off.

Turn off Yahoo second sign-in verification To prevent unauthorized account access, Yahoo uses an authentication feature known as "second sign-in verification." It asks you to verify a security question, or a code texted to your mobile device, when a login attempt is made on your account from a new location or device.
Disabling second sign-in verification

  1. From a desktop or laptop computer, go to your Yahoo Account Information.
  2. Under "Sign-In and Security," click Set up your second sign-in verification.
  3. Uncheck the box next to Your second sign-in verification is turned on.
    - A "Turn Off Second Sign-In Verification?" pop-up window appears.
  4. Click Turn Off, to confirm.
Important: Once disabled, you will no longer receive notifications when you access your account from a new location.

SOURCE: how do we change the password of our yahoo I.D.

There should be a link that says "Forgot your password?" Click on this, and they will send an email to your Yahoo email account. In this email, there will be a link to "create a new password."

When you changed your password, you should have also received an email confirming the change as it is a security risk. If you do not have the code in the email, you can request another by contacting the Twitter help centre. They will send you a new code.

Change apple id password

Changing your password for your Apple ID if you know it is easy:

Follow these steps to change your Apple ID password.
  1. Go to My Apple ID (appleid.apple.com).
  2. Click "Manage your Apple ID" and sign in.
  3. If you have two-step verification turned on, you'll be asked to send a verification code to the trusted device associated with your Apple ID. If you're unable to receive messages at your trusted device, follow the guidelines for what to do if you can't sign in with two-step verification.
  4. Click "Password and Security".
  5. In the "Choose a new password" section, click Change Password.
  6. Enter your old password, then enter a new password and confirm the new password. Click Save when done.
The next time you use an Apple feature or service that uses Apple ID, you'll be asked to sign in with your new Apple ID password.

If you don't know what your password is currently, you'll need to know which situation applies to you:

If you know the answers to your security questions
  1. Go to My Apple ID (appleid.apple.com).
  2. Click "Reset your password."
  3. Enter your Apple ID and click Next.
  4. Select "Answer security questions" as your authentication method. Click Next.
  5. Select the birth date associated with your Apple ID, then click Next to begin answering your security questions.
  6. After answering your security questions, you will be asked to enter and confirm your new password. Click Reset Password when done.
If you have access to the email addresses associated with your Apple ID
  1. Go to My Apple ID (appleid.apple.com).
  2. Click "Reset your password."
  3. Enter your Apple ID and click Next.
  4. Select "Email authentication" as your authentication method. Click Next.
  5. Apple will send a message to the primary email address or verified rescue email address associated with your Apple ID. Open the message and click "Reset Apple ID password".
  6. When the My Apple ID page opens, enter and confirm your new password, then click Reset Password.
If you have two-step verification turned on
  1. Go to My Apple ID (appleid.apple.com).
  2. Click "Reset your password."
  3. Enter your Apple ID and click Next.
  4. Verify your identity: Enter the Recovery Key you were provided when setting up two-step verification, then choose a trusted device that will receive the verification code from Apple.
  5. After entering the verification code, create your new password and click Reset Password.
If you don't have your Recovery Key or are unable to receive messages at your trusted device, follow the instructions for what to do if you can't sign in with two-step verification.

If you don't have access to the email on file and/or don't know your security answers and/or don't have the device or code associated with two-step verification, please call AppleCare at 800-692-7753.

You will need to verify your identity using two separate pieces of information which will vary depending on your account, but after verifying your identity you will be able to have a password reset email sent to you within 24 hours.

Phone locked and forgot password phone nokia e72

Your handset contains your personal information that you don't want to disclose, or it contains photos, schedules,videos, and contact numbers of your friends. You can protect your cell phone form the person using it without your permission. After enabling the password protection, your handset will not be able to receive text calls and text messages. But some people may forget their password after locking it. This tips are for these kinds of people. It is not a difficult task to unlock a phone. Here are some tips and tricks to unlock your phone.

First of all try to remember your phone unlock code. Try PINs that you normally use. Try your birth date or phone's last 4 digits.

Try 1234 or 1111 to unlock it. These lock codes are used by manufacturers as default codes. Then press OK. The six digit default security code is 000000. Network providers sometimes change that code to their own code. If your network provider has not changed it, then you may unlock your phone by trying these default security codes. It is recommended that you reset them to stop others from accessing your private information.

Press the menu key, it may bypass the unlock screen and handset will now be asking to enter security code. If you have forgotten the security code too, send it to the manufacturer's repairing center. They will charge the fee to unlock it as it is not covered under warranty.

To change unlock code or password

Nokia has the default security code 12345.Try that code for all Nokia handsets.

Enter #pwd# and then press send button. It may change or reset your handset password.

If all these tips don't work for you, contact your service provider. They will flash it, and you will be able to reset the password.

Also you can try these default codes: Default 4 Digit user code: 1234 or 0000 Default 5 Digit Security code: 12345 or 00000 Default 6 Digit Security code: 123456 or 000000 Default 6 Digit Security code: 000999 or 1122

How can i reset my security code?motorola v3

Changing a Code, PIN, or Password Motorola V3
Your phone’s 4-digit unlock code is originally set to 1234, and the 6-digit security code is originally set to 000000.

Your service provider may reset these codes before you receive your phone.

. The unlock code must contain 4 digits, and the security code must contain 6 digits.

One trick I know: When changing the code, when it asks for the old password, press the "menu" button first, then enter 000000 and that may work also.

FORGOTTEN SECURITY CODE

Personally, I'd take your phone into your cellular provider and ask for them to help you in resetting your security code; they may ask for proof of ownership, just in case of stolen property, so expect to provide this when prompted.
