When you signed up did you give Yahoo an alternative email address if so there is a box in uk that says forgotten password tick it and they will send password to the alternate address

Good Luck

Agree w/ Chris for the USA, also - if you provided another email address and remember your login name - a Yahoo message will be sent to that alternate address which will then allow you to reset your password. Otherwise you will have to use their password wizard and follow the directions on 'lost password' - good luck and please post back; may help others!

P.S. Welcome to the forum!
