I don't think there is any server problems in Yahoo these days and it works perfectly for me. As the login page shows repeatedly even after you enter the information, there might be some problem with your login information (may be wrongly entered or changed recently). If you receive a message stating that your account has been locked for security reasons, this means that there have been too many attempts to sign in to your account with the incorrect password. As a security measure, your account has been locked to prevent unauthorized users from being able to access it. The lock on your account will expire 24 hours after it was initially locked—the lockout period will not reset each time you attempt to sign in while the account is still locked.

Well Anil , this usually happens in slow Internet connection.
Yahoo messenger takes time to open in Slow Internet connection and sometimes simply wont connect you.
The other problem would be Virus.
Try to scan your system using a good anti virus.
I am sure after removing virus, it would work fine for you.
