I am locked out of my yahoo account?

I needed to change my password on Wednesday then on Thursday. When I was changing my password, it would read that the new password was not valid. After many attempts, I logged out. Now I am unable to get into my Yahoo account. My secret question, written 8 years ago, does not make sense and I cannot figure out the answer. Meanwhile, my yahoo account locks up for 24 hour time periods. I have already send an email message to Yahoo and have not heard back. I am in the middle of planning a reunion in one week and need my email. Any suggestions

    I had a similar experience on 10/08/08 however no attempts to change my password was performed. I was able to log in successfully and check my email however a few minutes later i was not able to log in. I still remain locked out of my account as i cannot remember the challenge information. I contacted support however without knowing the challenge information there is nothing they can assist with.
