Has anybody ever had their security questions changed and not have the answers?

hi all how do you reset your security questions. i can not remember the answers. how do you reset them? i cant buy anything because it keeps coming up
If you have a rescue email address (which is not the same thing as an alternate email address) set up on your account then go to https://appleid.apple.com/ and click 'Manage your Apple ID' on the right-hand side of that page and log into your account. Then click on 'Password and Security' on the left-hand side of that page and on the right-hand side you should see an option to send security question reset info to your rescue email address.
If you don't have a rescue email address (you won't be able to add one until you can answer 2 of your questions) then you won't get the reset option - you will need to contact iTunes Support or Apple to get them reset.
e.g. you can try contacting iTunes Support : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page, then Account Management , and then 'Forgotten Apple ID security questions'
or try ringing Apple in your country and ask to talk to the Accounts Security Team : http://support.apple.com/kb/HE57
When they've been reset (and if you don't already have a rescue email address) you can then use the steps half-way down this page to add a rescue email address for potential future use : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5312 . Or you could change to 2-step verification : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5570 -
security questions i do not know the answer to then please send me one some more please david adams
Please be aware that you are not communicating with Apple when you post in these forums. The only people who will reply to your posts are your fellow users.
As to your issue, go to:
https://appleid.apple.com/
If you've forgotten your answers, there should be a link just under the security questions fields where you can have a reset email sent to your Rescue email address. If the link for the email doesn't appear, as can happen if you didn't set a rescue email address or (apparently) have a .Mac email address, go here:
http://www.apple.com/emea/support/itunes/contact.html
to report the issue to the iTunes Store.
Regards.
Forum Tip: Since you're new here, you've probably not discovered the Search feature available on every Communities page, but next time, it might save you time (and everyone else from having to answer the same question multiple times) if you search a couple of ways for a topic, both in the relevant forums and in the Apple Knowledge Base, before you post a question. -
How can I reset my security questions to be able to access my account and purchases?
I have been told it is not possible, could this be true?Welcome to the Apple Community.
Start here (change country if necessary) and navigate to 'Password and Security', reset your security questions using the link provided, you will receive an email to your rescue address, use the link in the email and reset your security questions.
If that doesn't help, you don't receive a reset email or you don't have a rescue address, you should contact AppleCare who will initially try to assist you with a reset email or if unsuccessful will pass you to the security team to reset your security questions for you.
If you are in a region that doesn't have international telephone support try contacting Apple through iTunes Store Support. -
Has anybody ever forgotten their 4 digit passlock code to their iphone 4??? ive tried everything and i dont want to take the 45min to an hour drive if i dont have to??? thank you
Has anybody ever forgotten their 4 digit passlock code to their iphone 4???
I'm assuming you want to know how to deal with this rather than starting a social network...
Restore the phone in iTunes using the computer the phone syncs with. If you use any other computer, you'll be asked for the passcode to restore. In that case, you have to force recovery mode and lose all data on the phone. Search "recovery mode" to find out how. -
How can I change my original security questions? After changing my AppleID and password, I am not given an opportunity to change my security questions, which I cannot remember the answers to, so I cannot purchase any music.

I have recently just bought an iPad but before I purchase anything I need to answer my security questions, I don't remember the answers, I went to forgotten my security questions answers but them email was sent to my old email address
If the email hasn't arrived after a few hours and isn't in a spam filter, you need to ask Apple to reset your security questions; this can be done by phoning AppleCare and asking for the Account Security team, or clicking here and picking a method, or if your country isn't listed in either article, filling out and submitting this form.
They wouldn't be security questions if they could be bypassed without Apple verifying your identity.
