If the e-mail account has been hijacked, the hijacker has probably changed the password already, and the user doesn't have access to his account anymore. He can ask for help from yahoo, but they are usually unwilling to do anything unless the user can prove his identity and that the account has actually been hijacked. They also typically refuse to give help unless the user has a paid support account with yahoo. I don't know about aol and gmail, but I doubt they are any different from yahoo in this respect. So unless the user has been paying for e-mail services to yahoo (and really, why would he ever do that?! ;-) ), he is unlikely to retreive his password any time soon...
