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, if it's available in your country, you could change to 2-step verification : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5570

    Follow these steps:
    All Products and Services > iTunes > iTunes Store > Account Management > iTunes Store account security
    Answer the questions and if required sign in with your Apple ID and password - same one you used to log in on this support forum.
    You will find an option to send an email to Apple on that page. Indicate that you forgot the answers to your security questions and wait for iTunes support to reply.

    From http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5665 :
    If you have three security questions and a rescue email address, sign in to My Apple ID and select the “Password and Security” tab to send an email to your rescue email address to reset your security questions and answers.
    If you have one security question and you know your Apple ID password, sign in to My Apple ID and select the “Password and Security” tab to reset your security question.
    If you have one security question, but don't remember your Apple ID password, contact Apple Support for assistance. Learn more about creating a temporary support PIN to help Apple confirm your identity when you contact Apple Support.
    If you can’t reset them via the above instructions (you won't be able to add a rescue email address until you can answer your questions) then you will need to contact Support in the country where you and your iTunes account are to get the questions reset.

    I cannot remember the answers to my security questions and I do not see the option to send it to my rescue email, although I know I have one. What do I do? I cannot use my account for iTunes until I answer the questions and I recently got $50 of iTunes from my parents. HELP!!

    Are you sure that it's a rescue email address (it's not the same thing as an alternate email address) ? If you do then you should be able to 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.

    Hello Arnas333
    You would need access to that account in order to reset the questions. If you do not have access to it, then you will need to contact iTunes Store support in order to resolve the issue.

    Didn't the link to contact the iTunes Store staff in the 'Additional Information' section of that article work for you? If you don't already have a valid rescue email address, only Apple itself can reset the questions.

  • HT1911 I forgot the answers to my security questions. How do I get the answers to those?

    I forgot the answers to my security questions on my account. Yesterday, I went to purchase songs on a new computer, and I was asked for the answers. Since I did not know the exact answers to my questions, I was locked out of my account. Is there a way to find the answers to your security question somewhere in your account or is there a way to reset them to something I will not forget?

  • TS1368 I forgot the answers of my security questions of iTunes account, what to do?

    Hi Team,
    I need your urgent support, as I have forgotten the answers of my security questions so I am not able to purchase anything from apple store as it's my first time to purchase !
    I tried many times to answer the questions but I couldn't remember the answers and now i am unable to even trying to try more answers ! I am stuck now and urgently I need to purchase applications from Apple store, could you please help?

    We are fellow users here on these forums, you're not talking to iTunes Support nor Apple.
    If you've disabled your account then you might be able to re-enable it via this page : http://appleid.apple.com, then 'reset your password'
    You might then need to log out of your account on your phone by tapping on your id in Settings > iTunes & App Store and then log back in so as to 'refresh' the account on it
    For your security questions, if you have a rescue email address (which is not the same thing as an alternate email address) set up on your account then the steps half-way down this page give you a reset link on your account : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5312
    If you don't have a rescue email address (you won't be able to add one until you can answer your questions) then you will need to contact iTunes Support / Apple in your country to get the questions reset.
    Contacting Apple about account security : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5699 (you can also try that link if you can't get your account enabled via the above)
    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 the HT5312 link above to add a rescue email address for potential future use
