Forgotten security questions
I have forgotten my security questions for my apple id so I can't make any purchases with my gift card that I recently got. To reset them the apple site tells me to go into Password and Security but to get into that you need to answer security questions. What do I do?
Click here for information. If the option to have the answers emailed to you isn't available or doesn't work(the email may take a few hours to arrive), contact the iTunes Store staff via the link in the 'Additional Information' section of that article.
Nobody on these boards can reset them for you.

TS3297 how to get the answer to a forgotten security question.
how do i recover the answer to my forgotten security question
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 -

I have repeatedly requested the email to help with forgotten security question passwords but never receive it; I cannot access my account for purchases with out the answers; how can i fix this?
Hello Jamped,
It sounds like you are doing the correct process to reset your security questions, but you are not getting the email at your recovery address. I recommend checking your spam folder first. If it is not there I would next reach out to
our iTunes Account Security team who may be able to help if you can verify your account info:

Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.

How can i change the e-mail which receive a message about forgotten security questions ?
i want to change the security question but i cant remember the answers or the password for the e-mail that recieve the message about forgotten security question .
You need to ask Apple to reset your security questions; ways of contacting them include phoning AppleCare and asking for the Account Security team, clicking here and picking a method for your country, and filling out and submitting this form.
They wouldn't be security questions if they could be bypassed without Apple verifying your identity.

Hi
How do i reset forgotten security questions on an old account
ThankyouIf 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

I have forgotten security questions, how can I change my password
Please could you tell me how to change my password if I have forgotten the security questions
Go to:
https://appleid.apple.com/
Click "Manage My Account", sign in, and go to the Password and Security section. Answer the security questions and you'll be taken to a screen where you can then change them. 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, see the user tip created by Kappy, another user here, on how to proceed:
https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-4551
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.
