I was ecstatic but I couldn't get in since its restricted and requires approval to which on one has access. I've been wanting to try and at least get the photos in he group. Ive been looking everywhere for help, I asked Yahoo support via twitter and they were 0 help, I asked reddit but they laughed at me. You guys are my last hope, please help me out.This is bad news, but here's how it looks to Yahoo and why you won't get their help. If you aren't a member and if it's a closed group, you would have to have your membership approved before having access to the files and photos. You said it was your group at one point. Let's assume it's not your group for a moment, as it might as well not be if you can't remember your username and password or if they don't work. If it's open to the public (you said it's not), and if the public has access to those areas, then you could download them one at a time then upload them to your new GIO group, also one at a time. But you're not a member (from Yahoo's standpoint). So you don't have "rights" to access the group. Yahoo won't help since it's up to the group owner (who can't log in) to approve your membership. That's how Yahoo looks at it. That means you're stuck if you don't have your login information or the same contact email address to get your credentials recovered. Yahoo, if there was any customer support, would think you're trying to take over the group from the legitimate owner. They won't help you do that. They used to let someone just run a group as a supermoderator if the owner couldn't be contacted, to continue the group. But they don't do that anymore, and you would still have had to be a member back when they did that. We won't even go into how you do that since you're not viewed as a member to the system. And it's pretty much a system of computers that you're dealing with now that they pretty much got rid of customer service. You could just start a new group and realize that it will take a while to build membership. If you have old emails from your group, you could try inviting those members to the new group. There's no magic way to recover your access to the group if you don't have your login credentials, or if someone hacked the group somehow and took it over, then removed you from the group. I'm not sure exactly what happened as you didn't give a full history of what happened, but in any case, it looks like you don't have a way to get to those files or photos.
