To start an entirely new Yahoo! Account, here's what you'll need to do:

1.    Sign out of Yahoo! Messenger by clicking the Messenger menu and selecting Sign Out. 

2.    After you're signed out of Yahoo! Messenger, you'll see the link Get a New Yahoo! ID, under your Yahoo! ID and Password fields.  Click the link, Get a New Yahoo! ID.

3.    You'll be taken to the Yahoo! Registration page, follow the prompts to create your new Yahoo! Account.

If you don't have Yahoo! Messenger running, get a new Yahoo! ID here.

1.    On the Yahoo! Sign in page, click the Sign Up link located at the bottom right of the page.

2.    You'll be taken to the Yahoo! Registration page, follow the prompts to create your new Yahoo! Account.

Please note: The information from your other Yahoo! Account will not transfer over to your new account. You'll need to recreate your Address Book contacts or Yahoo! Messenger Contacts in your new account.
