Secret Question

I have forgotten the answer to the secret question of my yahoo account, is there any way to retrieve the answer?
I'm not talking about sending yahoo a "secret answer" reset request and getting a new one, I just want to get the old answer exactly as I typed it when I first created the email account.
I can log in to my email, I have the password and everything, it's just that I want my old answer because I recently visited some websites, forums etc. again that I used to frequent but I forgot the password to those pages (I used the same one for all of them). All I know is that the password was the same like the answer to the secret question of my email account. I already sent yahoo a mail through my account, asking them if they could re-send me the "secret question" answer but I just got an automated response telling me if I want them to reset my answer I have to provide them with the current one first...so that wasn't much help.

any ideas?

When you joined those forums did you receive a confirmation email?(password included)what I mean is the password/s may be stored in the email account you used when you joined up with those forums/sites etc.
I don't think it's possible to get the answer any other way unless you stored it on your computer or email account/s.

thanks for your replies tinethle and angel.
you're right it's possible that the password is stored in those email accounts (i used various emails for anonymity reasons) back then. however i don't remember those accounts anymore since i just created them, in order to sign up on diffrent pages. that's why I'm trying to retrive the password through the answer of my yahoo secret question.
