Tried to get on my yahoo account the other day and it would not let me sign in. So i started a new account which does not have all my friends on it ofcourse. Been very upset because a lot of people only know that address and not my knew one. Sadly i do not remember most of their address.

There is a specific part of the question that I can help with, or at least point you in the direction with. It is the part about your friends list. If I were you I would call Yahoo if they have a 1-800 number or other phone number and tell them the screen name of your account. Knowing tech support (in general, not yahoo) you may need to go through "tiers" of support to get to a higher, technical level representative. In other words, a person who can look through the yahoo servers for remnants of, if not your entire friends list, as opposed to someone whose technical knowledge extends no farther than operating the telephone and saying "hello, this is yahoo, how may I direct your call?" Keep in mind the more detailed help you need, the more tiers you'll have to go through.
About how they could find the list:
Hard drives work like records (yeah, the old fasioned ones) in principle, but they can store much more data and they are much more efficient. Even if, on the yahoo servers (which of course use hard drives), some other information was written over your friends list because yahoo is a company with busy servers, an advanced technical support representative might be able to scan the hard drives and find the data. They would do this by scanning the grooves in the hard drives for traces of your friends list. I don't know for sure if they would offer that much time and energy, but if it was my friends list, I would not hesitate to try!

It could be that you forgot your password. After so many time of putting in the wrong password, it will lock you account.

some one hacked your password. click on forget password? enter the information you supplied when creating that account. then you will be asked a question. your secret question. answer that question then your password will be reset so you can login again.
