Help! Find my secret answer!

I have to get my email back. It was locked cause I did not reply to an email. Its been locked for almost 2 years now. I have been trying to guess my secret answer for 2 years now. I just dont remember it. I also dont remember my alt address. I have been emailing yahoo security for almost 2 years now. They wont give me clues this sucks! I really need my account back.

The only clue they gave me was this.
My secret question is. (Hello?)
I created my account in 12/12/1998
Back then I could not type my answer. I had to pick my answer.


Now a days you can actually type in your secret question.

Does anyone here have a list of secret answers back in 1998? Im going to compile a list and email them that. Im new here and Im hoping some one will help me.

Well, if you don't know what the secret question's answer is, there really isn't much you can do about it.

Hackers don't exactly exist like that. And if they did, they'd probably just take your money and not do anything.

Unfortunately, there really isn't much you can do about it. Without the secret question's answer, you're pretty much screwed.

It's not that nobody can't help you, it's that without the answer to the secret question, you're sunk in the water. There's no way to recover it either, and if the account has existed since 1998, chances are it's lost to the sands of time...

Just being honest and straight with you.

Oh, and any talk about "hacking" isn't allowed here on this site, since the term and actions are malicious in nature (usually).

Ive heard of people that have actually gotten their lost accounts by doing this. And I talked to the yahoo security via email. They stated that my account and all the emails should still be in there. ITs only been locked for 2 years. ANd this sucks cause it got locked only because I did not reply to an email.

Im still going to try the hire hackers or hacking services.

Im sure some one out there has an account as old as mine and they might even have the same question and answer as I do.

Im asking the folks here if they created an account in 1998 thourgh 2000. To let me know if their secret question is the same as mine.

Hello?


MaybeWe can compare or they can help me figure out what the possible answers were back then.


Edited

Ok I wont talk about hacking anymore. Sorry

Just looking for help

Yeah, sorry, can't talk about hacking here. Nobody in chat will actually take money and do as you ask. They'll rip your money and not do a thing for you... or they'll just ignore your pleas altogether.

Besides, the intent to 'hack' Yahoo accounts is technically illegal, and is against the Yahoo! TOS, which could result in the account being deleted altogether... not that it stops some people...

That is so not true. I've gotten into accounts that I haven't logged into in months and the e-mail address has to be reactivated and once that is done there is no e-mails in it. So if you say it's been 2 years - i'm extremely sure you'll find an empty inbox.

And someone please correct me if I'm wrong on that but that's what I know from experience.

Also if what I say stands what other reasons do you have for getting this account back? It's been 2 years of no use and unless it's one of those rare names I don't see any reason for you to fight to get it so much. The fact that you are so curious to know the alternate e-mail tells me that you have plenty of other Yahoo! accounts. But I guess to each their own.

I told my psychiatrist that everyone hates me. He said I was being ridiculous - everyone hasn't met me yet.

Well thanks for raining on my parade!

Yes I only have a hotmail account cause i lost my yahoo acount. ANd I made another yahoo acount. Simply to try and get my yahoo acount.

ANd I can still see my profile in tact. I have everything the way I left it.

Check out my profile.

tommy4_u


search it and youll see when it was created and my info still in tact. And I dont check my hot mail for months and I still have my emails there.

So If anyone can help me guess my answer





Oh and if my emails or anyone's emails are deleted then why would yahoo be so concerned about keeping someone's privacy. They would have let me have my account 2 years ago and I would not have been here.



The question is Hello?
