How do I reset my Apple ID password without email or security questions?

I have forgotten my Apple ID password for some time now. I tried to reset it with email but looks like the email is either going to an old ID which no longer exists or I have not set an alternative ID. And also I have completely forgotten the answers to the security questions.

Alternatives for Help Resetting Security Questions and/or Rescue Mail
     1. If you have a valid rescue email address, then use this procedure:
         Rescue email address and how to reset Apple ID security questions.
     2. Fill out and submit this form. Select the topic, Account Security. You must
         have a Rescue Email to use this option.
     3. This is the only option if you do not already have a valid Rescue Email.
         These are telephone numbers for contacting Apple Support in your country.
         Apple ID- Contacting Apple for help with Apple ID account security. Select
         the appropriate country and call. Ask to speak to the Account Security Team.
     4. Account security issues almost always require you to speak directly to an
         Apple representative to securely establish your identity as the account holder.
         You can set it up so that Apple calls you, either immediately or at a time
         convenient to you.
            1. Go to www.apple.com/support.
            2. Choose Contact Support and click Contact Us.
            3. Choose Other Apple ID Topics and choose the appropriate topic for
                your issue.
            4. Follow the onscreen instructions.
         Note: If you have already forgotten your security questions, then you cannot
         set up a rescue email address in order to reset them. You must set up
         the rescue email address beforehand.

Hello AndrewsAFCx,
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities!
If you cannot remember your security questions for your Apple ID, I would recommend these steps outlined in the article named:
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 passwordsign 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.
Note: If you have forgotten your password and answer your security questions incorrectly too many times in a row, you will be unable to try to answer your security questions for a period of time. During that time you will not be able to reset your password and will not have access to your account.
All the best,
Sterling

Contact Apple Support to have them reset your Security Questions:
ACCOUNT SECURITY CONTACT NUMBERS
Once you get all sorted, check to make sure you actually do have a Rescue email address (which is not the same as an Alternate email address). Or you might want to look into 2-step Verification:

How do i reset my Iphone 4 password without restoring to default?

Recently I've been having problems with my roommates watching me enter my password which forced me to change it periodically.
Only now I can't remember what I changed it to most recently and restoring it to factory settings isn't really an option considering the volume of the content on the device.
I've been without access to my phone for the past week and it's getting almost aggravating having to call and talk to some lady about the issue I'm having, having her sound very empathetic and saying they could "assist me in resolving this today", only to have her say that I'd need to pay $30 just to have her tell me a few words.
I don't have $30 right now and I think it's beyond stupid that they're 'unable to help' me because of this.
In the Backups section of the Apple site I read:
" If you protect your iPhone or iPod touch with a passcode, you will be prompted to enter the passcode when you connect to iTunes. Once you successfully enter the passcode, iTunes will recognize that device as authorized and you will not need your passcode to back up or sync (Which I've done). When restoring from an iOS 4 (or later) backup, if the device had a passcode set, iTunes will ask if you want to set a passcode (and remind you that you had protected your device with a passcode.) iTunes will not ask you to set a passcode when restoring from iOS 3.x and prior backups. "
I've just tried restoring from a backup I created last week but my password is still enabled and I'm still unable to remember what I changed it to.
I'm not sure if I misunderstood the bolded section but I was under the impression that restoring it from iOS 4 or later would remove/reset my current password and allow me to set a new one. That hasn't been the case.
I'm not really sure where to go from here, so any and all help is appreciated.
Thanks,
Mjk

If you don't remember it, you can't.

How do you reset an apple ID password, when you can't remember (or reset) the password of the linked account?

Hello!
Finally got around to restoring the settings on our old iPhone 4ses, however, in order to do so for my husband's old phone, we need to turn off 'find my iphone'. The problem is that he cannot remember his apple ID password (and never set up the security profile in its entirety, so no good there), nor can he remember the password of the linked email address (which is an apple one).
Does anyone know how to go about remedying it? Sure, you can request a new password, which is sent to the account linked to your apple account, but what if there's no way to access the linked account (or reset that email accounts password, as it is an icloud account and redirects you to the reset apple ID site)? It's driving me nuts!
I hope this makes sense - am feeling less than thrilled right now.
Thanks in advance.
cheers
Zoe

Thanks for that, Roger. I had tried to access support through their website, but kept getting a message along the lines of 'no solution found'.
For reasons unknown, I decided to update the software on the phone, and was then able to restore settings that way. Weird, but I'm happy that I didn't have to resort to violence towards the phone!
Thanks again.
cheers

HT4314 How can I reset the gem center password without the birthday

Does anyone know how to reset game center password without knowing the birthday. My son setup his own game center account and to logge out and know can't reset the password.

Boot from your recovery partition by holding down the key combination command-R at startup. Release the keys when you see a gray screen with a spinning dial.
When the recovery desktop appears, select Utilities ▹ Terminal from the menu bar.
In the Terminal window, enter “resetpassword” and press return. A Reset Password window opens.
Select your boot volume if not already selected.
Select your username from the menu labeled Select the user account if not already selected.
Follow the prompts to reset the password.
Select  ▹ Restart from the menu bar.
You should now be able to log in with the new password, but you won't be able to unlock the Keychain. If you've forgotten the Keychain password (which is ordinarily the same as your login password), there's no way to recover it. You’ll need to reset your keychain in the preferences of the Keychain Access application.

How to change AppleID password without access to security questions or rescue email?

Hi,
I am curious how a friend managed to change his AppleID password via his iPhone without knowing the answers to the security questions or access to the rescue email. As someone else helped him with the process (not an Apple employee), he hasn't been able to explain it. I still haven't been able to figure how it was done. Wonder if anyone out here could shed some light, thanks!

Hi there mokcl,
You may find the troubleshooting steps in the article below helpful.
If you forgot the answers to your Apple ID security questions
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT6170
If you can't reset your security questions
Contact Apple Support in either of these circumstances:
You don't see the link to send a reset email, which means you don't have a rescue address.
You see the link to send a reset email, but you don't have access to email at the rescue address.
A temporary support PIN isn't usually required, but Apple may ask you to generate a PIN if your identity needs to be verified.

HT5312 I know my apple Id password but forgot my security questions what do I do

I don't know my security questions but I know my password

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.
