Booted out of Chat Room, no I can't login

Ok...I have read most of the threads on how to stop being booted.

I have a newer problem, I was booted this evening and now I can NOT log back into Messenger. I had V6 and just now up graded to Yahoo Messenger v7 (I think). Regardless they is no change in the problem.

I have posted questions to Yahoo on correcting the problem. A booter once told me that they have a way of taking your "contract"? What that means I do not know.

I get the "ID and/or Password invalid" message when I try and log in on Messenger. I know for sure I have the correct ID and Password, as I do not set it for auto login and I have typed both in for the past 4 years on every login. Regardless I did the password reset with Yahoo and everything works but login to Messenger still fails.

I am not a jerk in these chat rooms and I mind my own business. I did get Y-channel and it has stopped a number of booters, but not this one tonight.

Anyone help me out on this one?

I do recall getting a red message in the chat room I was in that said "You Have Been Logged off Chat" was in the bold red letters. I have been booted before, but you loose all windows in a Pooof* and you have to log back in. This time I could not get back in. Did some one "lock my account". If so, can Yahoo unlock it? or do I have to wait for a time period to expire and try it again?

Most important: can this type of thing be stopped in the future, asuming that I can ever get logged back in with this account?

1.) If your account is locked, go to http://login.yahoo.com/config/login

And login.

2.) No you cant stop this kind of attack.

If you still can not log in, your IP might be banned, wait 24-72 hours.
