Thanks for everyone who has provided assistance.
I contacted Sky yesterday the advisor told me to change my password nothing happened except
that the emails being routed to my mobile phone now gets the same message access denied!!
He said he would call me back this did not happen!!!!!
I contacted sky again this morning the first advisor said she would call me back surprise this did not happen, 2nd call to sky SUCCESS
the advisor was aware of the problem that has been happening for the last couple of days, the problem being an online software problem with Yahoo. It only affects users outside the UK
so
don't change password, just wait until tomorrow when I was assured that the issue would be fixed

Further to previous discussion re
Access Denied
You don't have permission to access "http://skyidapp.sky.com/AK_PM_VPATH0/856922/288_Error.html" on this server.
Reference #18.6ef1529.1681200318.2618ef
I spent some 2/3 hours on online chat with a sky advisor regarding the above
The result of my discussion is that IP addresses outside UK & Ireland will/could have their
access denied as above
I was told If your network provider and IP address is restricting on the yahoo servers as access is denied then you would in the first instance try an alternative network but as the IP range will all be SA then that may still cause the server restrictions for security purposes.
Bottom line is IP addresses outside UK & Ireland could have their IP address denied as the IP range is deemed as a possible threat

Yes, that has always been the case, and something I've experienced too in the past. I imagine access to specific IP addresses is restricted because of previous activity associated with them.

Are you using a VPN?

Yes I am, does this make a difference? Sorry if that is a dim question!

Yes, it's very likely the cause. Some Sky sites don't support use of VPNs. Pause it to log in, and you should be fine.

Really sorry, that's one for someone with know how, which given the great help I received I am sure someone will do likewise for you. All the best.

As you can see from @lewes1853 experience, a VPN is unlikely to work, I'm afraid, as some Sky services don't support their use.
