Cannot answer security questions! Help!!

So I have an Apple ID that has been signed in into the App Store on my iPad. There hasn't been a credit card associated with my account, but I have been able to buy free apps. Recently I tried to add a $15 iTunes gift card into the account and I did so. My account currently has $15. (Yay!) But to actually buy apps, I have to answer/verify my security questions first. I've tried to answer them but after multiple tries, I get locked out of my Apple ID. I've done this twice now... I've read that to change the questions you must answer them! D: I have also read that if you have a recovery email you can change it there but I don't have a recovery email... Noooo...
Help help..
Other info:
-Currently locked out of my account. T^T Another 7 more hours to wait.
-I know the password to my Apple ID but I'm UNABLE to sign into appleid.apple.com. I think it might be the fact that I'm locked out of my account because I was able to sign in before the lock out.
-I think it's best that I call Apple Support. But, for them to reset it (Also read this from another discussion.. I've so many already >.<) I must be able to answer at least one of the questions. Not sure if I can do that.
-Tried to answer the questions through "Reset my password" and after clicking the "Answer security questions: " it tells me that I have to put in my birthday, and I do so, but it says "The authentication information provided does not match our records. Please verify your personal information and try again." (Not sure how this applies to the security questions but just wanted to add it.)
What do I do?!
Thanks!

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
When they've been reset 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

Login to www.appleid.apple.com with your Apple id and password If You Remember.
Go to Security and Password tab There You shoud have a Link to get the answer for security question.
If you dont have you need to talk to Account's and security Team of Apple Regarding this.

HT1689 me and my husband both have iphones 4 on the same itunes account but he cannot purchase anything cuz it keeps sayin its a new device and he needs to answer security questions.the questions are not what we set up the acct with. help!

My husband and I both have i phone 4 on the same itune acct but his phone is saying its a new device and will not let him buy anything off of our acct without answering security questions. these questions are not the ones we set up the acct with. my iphone device is not having this problem. Help!

I don't know if I'm asking this all in a way that can be understood? Thanks ED3K, however that part I do understand (in the link you provided!)
What I need to know is "how" I can separate or rather create another Apple ID for my son-who is currently using "my Apple ID?" If there is a way to let him keep "all" his info on his phone (eg-contacts, music, app's, etc.) without doing a "reset?') Somehow I need to go into his phone's setting-create a new Apple ID and possibly a new password so he can still use our combined iCloud & Itunes account?
Also then letting me take back my Apple ID & password, but again allowing us (my son and I) to use the same iCloud & Itunes account? Does that make more sense??? I'm sincerely trying to get this cleared up once and for all----just need guidance from someone who has a true understanding of the whole Apple iCloud/Itunes system!
Thanks again for "anyone" that can help me!!!

Hi can anyone help me with the solution to get my security questions and answers re-set?
I have done everything the site asks you to do/ reset passwords/ confirm re-send mail and so on BUT the site still does a 360 back to answer security
questions to confirm your identity....that is the point -I do not rememeber the questions and certainly therefore dont remember answers to questions that I am supposed to recall....so what do I do?
For the last 8 months ++ I've gone full circle and am at my wits end?
Anyone have some deep wisdom on this issue
Thanks and regards

I cannot buy music currently as I am being asked to answer security questions due to it being supposedly "the first time I have bought form this PC". This is not the case. I have now changed my password and security questions, but it is asking me the same when I try to buy again.

First off, the name of your computer is only the way it is becuase the Apple user is the first one they created after repairing the Mac. Go into Sharing System Preferences and change the name to whatever you like.
Can you explain how you did this:
This didn't seem right so I went in to it and changed the computer so that it would recognise me as the Owner/Administrator.
You can delete the Apple user in Users & Groups System Prefs. Select that user and delete it. It will ask if you want to save the user data or delete it. If you archive it, you can always delete it later and it will be available if you need to recover that account for some reason--I doubt this will be necessary. After deleting the account, and when you feel you are still working normally, you could delete that archived user folder.
I have also never seen anything ask for that. It does sound like an Epson thing, but without having access to it, I couldn't tell you for sure.
Here's what I would try. Create a new User and give them admin rights. Log in as that user and see what happens with the installer. If it still complains, it is an Epson issue. My guess is it is looking for user id 501, the first user created. If it works, then something is indeed odd about your account. If so, use that new admin account to disable Admin privileges for your account, then re-enable it. This is done in the Users & Groups system prefs.
