If it's a Yahoo account and the secrets have been changed, there's no way to recover it. It's lost forever. Sorry.

You will have to write the company that holds your e-mail address. NO ONE else can help you.
You can try here, if it's Yahoo e-mail.

Otherwise, Legally No one can help you.
This is also an illegal question, It is against Federal law to solicit information for the purpose of acquiring a password. (even your own, because we have know way of knowing if it is really yours) Giving out this information over the net, and not in person is also a violation of the Law.
But your question might be an honest request so it was not reported.

If you used your pets name for a password, then you deserve to be hacked. Learn how to make a strong password. Pet names are the easiest passwords to break. A computer can break a pet name password in less than 5 seconds.

The password change is the first thing. . Then run anti Virus and Anti Spyware. Should be fine then
