On the next page, you will have to enter the information to verify your identity. The information you have already given in the "Yahoo! Account Settings" should be given here as well. If you have given the alternate email address you will be asked to enter it here and your password recovery information will be sent to you on that email account. Otherwise, if you have given your mobile number then you will be sent a reset code through an SMS. Take this code and enter it in the Yahoo Recovery Wizard page and you will be routed to the Reset Password Page, where you will be asked about the recovery questions .
