HT201303 What if I can't remember the names I put for the security questions?
Ipad won't let me
You need to ask Apple to reset your security questions; this can be done by clicking here and picking a method, or if your country isn't listed, filling out and submitting this form.
They wouldn't be security questions if they could be bypassed without Apple verifying your identity.

Hi
I can not remember my security questions and no longer have access to the email account that i used for my rescue email.
I have a new ipad and can not buy anything on the app store until i can resolve this.On your computer or safari on your iOS device navigate to:
For Canada - https://appleid.apple.com/ca.
For United States - https://appleid.apple.com/us/.
Click the "Manage your Apple ID" button, and sign in to your iCloud account. Once in, on the left side select "Password and Security", and this will populate our options on the right side. You should see an option to reset your security questions.
Also see this article - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5312.
If for any reason you can not reset these security questions, or get an error, then you may need to contact Apple directly at 1 800 692 7753. Explain the issue, and they can get your to a "Account Security" agent, who will be able to verify your identity, and assist in resetting the security questions. -

How can I reset my security question and I cannot create a new account because I have £18 on the account that I can't remember the security questions to
If you have a rescue email address (which is not the same thing as an alternate email address) set up on your account then steps 1 to 5 on the page that you posted from should let you reset them : go 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 should 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 you won't get the reset option - 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 the page that you posted from to add a rescue email address for potential future use, or if it's available in your country you could change to 2-step verification : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5570 -

bottom of the page. In the next page click 'More Products and Services, then
'Apple ID'. In the next page select 'Other Apple ID Topics' then 'Forgotten Apple

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! -
Can't remember the security questions
Hi everybody! I tried to buy a song on itunes with my new mac and, since was the first time I was buying something with the new device, iTunes asked me the security questions. There's just one problem: I don't remember them! ARGH I know, I know I should have written them down somewhere!
Can somebody please help me to find a solution?Welcome to the Apple Community.
Start here, and reset your password, you will receive an email with your new password, then go tomanage your account > Password and Security and change your security questions.
If that doesn't help you might try contacting Apple through iTunes Store Support -
He also cannot remember the answers to the security questions. I requested an email reset, and he got a message that he could not reset since it was from my computer not his.
He is so upset with himself. He is older, and is excited to "hand me down" this phone. We can't activate it until we "unlink" it to his Apple ID.
Thanks for any help.I want to thank Allan Sampson and Dr Simie for helping me. I was finally able to reset my iphone 4s. FYI: When I was trying to sync my iphone with my car, I now realize I put a passcode on my iphone which I had never put one on it before. Anyway, I kept working on freeing up more disk space on my computer and to make a long story short, I was up past 2am working on this, but finally my iphone is restored and I have all my stuff. I now have a passcode which I am sure to not forget. Like I said, I've never had a passcode before, but I kind of like the security of it. So I think I'll go ahead and keep it.
So again, I'd like to thank you for steering me in the right direction. -
