I have a friend who lost their Yahoo password. The regular Yahoo password recovery process prompts them to enter the DOB plus zip code. However, this does not work. Likely they entered the wrong zip code when the account was created.

I did some searches on Google, and it sounds like the password may be stored in the local cookie file. However, I tried 2-3 password recovery tools that use the cookie, and none worked. In fact, one only installed a help and uninstall icon.

The only other password recovery methods Yahoo seems to support are:
*Credit Card = Person never used a credit card on Yahoo; and
Other Email Address = Person did not select a other email address.

Any idea how this person might recover their password?
