Locked out of yahoo, keeps asking for phone# i don't have SOLVED

it keeps taking me around in circles, asking for a phone number i don't have, it's not asking me for alternate e-mail address or security question.

am i screwed? i have a big flickr account tied to this sign-in. &("/¤"!##!§!

ETA: cleared my cookies and got signed in without hassle. added an alternate e-mail address and an actual phone number. if you haven't done so already - DO IT.
