I've gone through all of the options--cap lock, etc. When I try to access my account, it says that my ID is not yet taken. Then, I go to find my password, etc., use that very ID, answer my personal security questions, it recognizes me, I change my password, go back and. . ."This ID is not yet taken."

You having problems? I've tried more than one computer. . .

I was able to access my account after changing things to guard against a possible security compromise.

Not long ago, there was an 'official looking' Yahoo ID confirmation email spammed out.
Hopefully you didn't answer it.

I thought of that. But my security questions were the exacty ones I'd selected.

But yeah, we need to be careful.

Same problem here.

Though my original password was under 6 digits, so they may just be having users resetting for security purposes.

Finally did get it reset. A little bit of a scare though.

There were some problems a few days ago. Wonder if it's related to this:

My e-mail wasn't working this morning, but came back to my office after class and it works fine.
