Forgotten iTunes password security questions...

Trying to purchase any media in iTunes and security questions. And yes, many iTunes purchases have been made on my iPad2.
With my 3 y/o iPad 2, I've been greeted with the security questions:
Childhood friend and first car.
I don't remember either as far as answers go.
So going to customer support, I was greeted again with non-specific areas of faq.
I'd like to find another way to recover my security answers other than this run around forms.
Just riles me to have to resort to this.
Thanks a bunch!

Just to follow up on my small issue.
Called support explained situation to Bruno. Outstanding customer service! In mere moments I was totally reset and back downloading in minutes.
Fast, courteous, and personable service.
Yeah, no wonder I've been a loyal Apple customer since 1998.
And that $19 support charge? Fuggetaboutit. Never happened.
Thank you Bruno and Apple, Inc.

  • Forgotten answers to security questions & icloud password

    I bought a gift for my niece's 5 year old daughter a month ago and gave my niece all the steps in order to activate the ipad mini for her daughter.
    She setup an icloud email address, password,security questions & answers and her date of birth.
    Don't ask me how this is possible, but she has forgotten all the answers and passwords and the 5 year old has now locked the ipad somehow.
    We can only unlock it using the icloud password which she cannot remember and when she tries to insert her date of birth, the apple website says that the date of birth is also incorrect.
    So basically, we are stuck with a device which we paid for which is now useless to us.
    How do we solve this dilemma ?
    Someone please help??

  • HT5312 Forgotten Apple ID security questions

    I forgotten apple ID security questions and i can't reset questions security.

    First, go to http://appleid.apple.com. Underneath where it says "Already have an Apple ID?," click Manage your Account. You will then need to sign in. If you forgot your Apple ID or password, click on the appropriate "Forgot..." link below either of these fields.
    After you sign in, click on "Passwords and Security" on the left.
    You will be asked to answer the security questions, but you should also notice a link below the second "Answer" field offering to send reset instructions to your rescue email address that you provided.
    Check the Inbox of your rescue email address. The email should appear within a minute or two. If it does not, be sure to check Spam. If it is not there either, you can repeat the above process to resend. Once you get the email, following the link will take you to a page where you must sign in again. After doing so, you will have the option to choose three new security questions and answers, which you may want to write down
    After you fill in the required information and continue, you should be taken to a confirmation screen stating "Your password and security information has been saved," and then you are done.
    The "Forgot your answers?" link will not appear if you do not have a rescue email address set up. In that case you will need to contact iTunes Support, http://apple.com/emea/support/itunes/contact.html
    If you still know the answers to your security questions, it is highly recommended you add a rescue email address. To do so, log in at appleid.apple.com and click on Password and Security. Answer the questions and then click on "Add Rescue Email Address:"

    If you have a rescue 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 set up then go to Express Lane  and select 'iTunes' from the list of 'products' in the middle of the screen.
    Then select 'iTunes Store', and on the next screen select 'Account Management'
    Next choose 'iTunes Store Account Security' and fill in that you'd like your security questions/answers reset.
    You should get an email reply within, I think, about 24 to 48 hours (and check your Spam folder as well as your Inbox)

    How do I retrieve forgotten answers to security questions for I-tunes?

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    You might try to see if you can change your security questions. Start here, change your country if necessary and go to manage your account > Password and Security.
    I'm able to do this, others say they need to input answers to their current security questions in order to make changes, I'm inclined to think its worth a try, you don't have anything to lose.
    If that doesn't help you might try contacting Apple through Express Lane (select your country, navigate to iCloud help and enter the serial number of one of your devices)

    We are fellow users here on these forums, you're not talking to iTunes Support nor Apple - I've asked the hosts to remove your email address from your post (it's not a good idea to post personal info on any public forum).
    If you have a rescue email address (which is not the same thing as an alternate email address) on your account then you can use that to reset them : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT6170
    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 have 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 (and if you don't already have a rescue email address) you can then use the steps on this page to add a rescue email address for potential future use : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5620
    Or, if it's available in your country, you could change to 2-step verification : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5570

  • HT5699 how can i i get the forgotten answers of security questions in id

    but i did,and they asked me to contact here

    How to reset your Apple ID security questions.
    Go to appleid.apple.com, click on the blue button that says 'Manage Your Apple ID'.
    Log in with your Apple ID and password. (If you have forgotten your Apple ID password, go to iforgot.apple.com first to reset your password with a password recovery email)
    Go to the Password & Security section on the left side, and click on the link underneath the security questions that says 'Forgot your answers? Send reset security info email to [email]'.  This will generate an automated e-mail that will allow you to reset your security questions.
    If that doesn't work, or  there is no rescue email link available, then click on 'Temporary Support PIN' that is in the bottom left side, and generate a 4-digit PIN for the Apple Account Security Advisor you will be contacting later.
    Next, go to https://getsupport.apple.com
    (If you see a message that says 'There are no products registered to this Apple ID, simply click on 'See all products and services')
    Choose 'More Products & Services', then 'Apple ID'.
    A new page will open.
    Choose 'Other Apple ID Topics', then 'Forgotten Apple ID Security Questions'.
    Click the blue 'Continue' button.
    Select the contact option that suits your needs best.

    I'm stuck!
    Hello,
    None? Are you absolutely sure? There are many methods discussed, with many nuances within some of them (e.g., the fact that password reset emails will not be received on the device -- this is by design). Sadly, though, from your short result report, we can't even begin to guess at what might have gone wrong within those methods...more details from you would be needed in order to provide you with any useful guidance.
    Good luck and let us know!
