Cannot remember my security questions. What should I do?

    a. Send Apple an email request at: Apple - Support - iTunes Store - Contact Us.
    b. Call Apple Support in your country: Customer Service: Contacting Apple for support
        and service.

    Another user had success doing the following:
    I got some help from an apple assistant on the phone. It is kind of round about way to get in.
    Here is what he said to do and it is working for me...
      a. on the device that is asking you for the security questions go to "settings", > "store" >
          tap the Apple ID and choose view"Apple ID" and sign in.
      b. Tap on payment information and add a credit/debit card of your preference then select
          "done", in the upper right corner
      c. sign out and back into iTunes on the device by going to "settings"> "store" > tap the
          Apple ID and choose "sign-out" > Tap "sign -in" > "use existing Apple ID" and you
          should be asked to verify your security code for the credit /debit card and NOT the
          security questions.
      d. At this time you can remove the card by going back in to edit the payment info and
          selecting "none" as the card type then saving the changes by selecting "done". You
          should now be able to use your iTunes store credit without answering the security
          questions.
    It's working for me ...I just have to put in my 3 digit security pin from the credit card I am using.
    Good Luck friends!

    Cannot remember answers to security questions

    Hello Billandrosie,
    Thanks for the question. If you do not recognize your security questions, or do not know the answers, see the following article for steps on how to reset them:
    Apple ID: All about Apple ID security questions
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5665
    What should I do if I don't remember the answers to my Apple ID security questions?
    Try answering them at least once to see if you can get them right, even if you are not sure you remember the answers to your security questions.
    If you are confident you can't remember them, try one of the following:
    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 do not see the option for resetting your questions with a rescue email address, see this excerpt:
    Note: The option to send an email to reset your security questions and answers will not be available if a rescue email address is not provided. You will need to contact iTunes Store support in order to do so.

    I have a new iPad mini and cannot use my apple account because its asking for security questions and I cannot remember the answers can I please get some help on resetting this, thank you

    If you have a rescue email address (which is not the same thing as an alternate email address) set up on your account then you can try going 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 might see an option to send security question reset info to your rescue email address.
    If you don't have a rescue email address then see if the instructions on this user tip helps : https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-4551

  • HT5312 Cannot remember security questions or rescue email address.  Where do I go from here?

    Is it possible to have the security questions and the rescue id reset?

    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.

  • TS1424 my ipod wont download songs because i cannot remember security question answers

    Any idea?

    This iPad was a Christmas gift. I've bought several apps with it. Now I get a "welcome new user" and a request for verification. I answered the questions 4 years and 2 iPhones ago. The customer support system Apple offers is as nonsensical as "Where's Waldo"...

    Rescue Email has been hacked I cannot rest my security questions what I have to do?

    You won't be able to change the addres until you can answer your questions, you will need to contact Support 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 steps 1 to 7 half-way down the HT5312 page that you posted from to update your rescue email address for potential future use
