2.5.8 - Yahoo - Account locked, unknown reason

[jimspoon]

Haven't been able to connect to Yahoo for a long time now.  I get the
"Account Locked, unknown reason" message.  Running Pidgin 2.5.8 on Windows
Vista.

It doesn't help if I log in at login.yahoo.com.

This is from the debug window:

(22:24:38) yahoo: Authentication: In yahoo_auth16_stage1_cb
(22:24:38) yahoo: Authentication error: Account locked: Unknown reason.
Logging into the Yahoo! website may fix this.

I ran Telnet, entered command "open scsa.msg.yahoo.com 5050".  Entered "st"
for status, and it reported "Connected to scsa.msg.yahoo.com"

Also tried unblocking port 5050 in Windows Firewall, no help.

Any ideas?
