Log into your yahoo email account and send a mail to recoversecretcode@yahoo.com after which the server will send you the forgotten password. Then in the subject line, type the word password retrieve etc.

This is a real scam as the only way o recover a forgotten password is to going to the account and clicking “forgot your password” option which will as you for authentification before resetting the password. In yahoo, they would ask you a secret question you have set at the time of creating you id thereafter your password will be emailed to your alternate account mentioned at the time of sign up.

There are scammers who ask for money to do this job who are just fooling you with this.
