Hi Hardhead,

I'm not sure if you can get around the 12 hours lockout.

Try this link and let us know if it helps get you back in - Yahoo! Password Helper

Have tried. It says 12 hrs or contact customer care but can't contact anyone nor any help at help.yahoo.com

Here is the Yahoo Help that mentions the issue:

Help Central | - SLN2069 - Unable to sign in to your Yahoo account

I believe that's confirmation there is no workaround for the 12 hour lockout.

You should be OK now since it's been over a day. Are you back into your Yahoo account?
