If all else fails:
  1. Go to: Apple Express Lane;
  2. Under Product Categories choose iTunes;
  3. Then choose iTunes Store;
  4. Then choose Account Management;
  5. Now choose iTunes Store Security and answer the bullet questions, then click
      Continue;
  6. Sign in with your Apple ID and press Continue;
  7. Under Contact Options fill out the information and advise iTunes that you would
      like your security/challenge questions reset;
  8. Click Send/Continue.
You should get a response within 24 hours by email.
In the event you are unsuccessful then contact AppleCare - 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!

  • HT201303 How do I recover my security questions that I forgot?

    I forgot my security questions and I got a new phone. I tried to download a new app from iTunes and it told me that I need to answer those questions. Could someone help me out here because I have money on the account that I don't want to lose. I know my email account. I know my iTunes password and username obviously.

    Same here bro .. im pretty depressed about it . but what i did was call the apple place and they sent me to support team on the phone . what they will ask you is your seireil number . and then for the security question. if you lucky to know one out of the 3 ur in luck lol. cause then the 2nd one they will give u a message through your iphone a code and you just read that back to them . and then from there they can reset your security questions and answers. But if you have more than one devise of apple the code they may send you might be sent to one of the other random devises that you have. so make sure you have all your devise in hand so you can give them the code. if you dont like i dont have mine ... they will want you to go to supportprofile.apple.com and then they will want you to update everything on your profile and somewhere , im not sure yet where , you can put your seiriel number on the devise you want the code to be transfered to. and they will revieve that seiriel number so they know what device to send it to. hope that somewhat helps . if not , then you r screwed like me and you need to try to remember your answers to the security questions lol. good luck
