HT201303 How do I change the security questions without changing my password?

When I am trying to buy something from the iTunes store it askes me two security questions. I know what the answers should be but they do not seem to match what Apple has. So, I tried to change the questions but now it also wants me to change teh password. I don't want to change the password. How can I eitehr find out my answers or change the questions without changing a password I obviously know!?!?!

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!

  • How do I reset the security questions without a phonecall ? No option to use my rescue email exists.,

    I need to reset the security questions on an Apple ID.
    It does not give me the option to use a recovery email, although there is one on the account.
    The only option is phone support, which I cannot use.
    I need a chat or email option to reset security questions, can anyone help?
    thanks!

    See If you forgot the answers to your Apple ID security questions - Apple Support
    IF your rescue email is not working, your options are pretty limited - find a phone and call them is about the only way you are going to get things reset and workIng.

  • HT1918 How can I change the security questions on my Apple ID account?

    I am editing my account and would like to change the security questions to other more familiar to me. Do you know how to do it? Thanks.

    If you can remember them their current answers you can login here and change them : https://appleid.apple.com , click on 'Manage your Apple ID' and then 'Password and Security' on the left-hand side of your account's page
    If you can't remember their answers and 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 (you won't be able to add one until you can answer 2 of your questions) then see if the instructions on this user tip helps you get them reset : https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-4551

  • I don't have the password of my alternative email, how can i change the security question's answers?

    I need to know URGENTLY because, i bought an itunes card, now that money is in my account, but i logged in with my Apple ID in my mac and it says hat i have to answer the security questions (which, i don't remember) because it's a new device etc. Please, i need to know how to change the security questions because i dont have the passsword of my alternative email!

    If you don't have access to your rescue email account (an alternate email address is a different address/setting on your account) then you will need to contact iTunes Support or Apple to get the questions reset.
    e.g. you can try contacting iTunes Support : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page, then Account Management , and then 'Forgotten Apple ID security questions'
    or try ringing Apple in your country and ask to talk to the Accounts Security Team : http://support.apple.com/kb/HE57
    When they've been reset (and if you don't already have a rescue email address) 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 . Or, if it's available in your country, you could change to 2-step verification : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5570

  • How can i change the security question?

    how can i change the security question?

    Click here for information. If you can't reset them through the method described in that article or by sending yourself a rescue email(the email may take a few hours to arrive), contact the iTunes Store staff via the link in the 'Additional Information' section.
    It isn't possible to create a rescue email address without correctly answering two of the questions.

  • How do we change the security questions

    How do we change the security questions?  We bought a new ipod and restored it with previous data through icloud.  It has a gift card with funds still attached to it.  We know the ID and password, but since it is a new device it is forcing us to answer the security questions.  The ipod is for my son, but we as parents set up the itune account, and now between my wife and I can't remember who's - or what - we used to answer them.

    Hi snowbagel,
    To reset your account security questions your identity will have to be verified and iTunes Store support can't do that through mail support.  You may find contacting Apple through the phone to be a quicker solution:

    Does anyone how to change the security questions, when I have forgotten them all?

    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 tomanage 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)
