HT201303 What if I forget security question answers

My kids have new iPods and apple is asking security questions that I can't remember!

If you don't remember any of the security questions, you'll actually have to get Apple involved. I just spoke with Apple support within the last two days and this is what you'll need.
As long as your apple id account has a good credit card number in it and you have the serial number of at least one of the devices associated with the apple id acccount, they ccan reset your security questions.
If you don't have any serial numbers, if you can guess any of the security questions with the support agent, they can disable the security questions so you can proceed to set them up again.
You will need to have at least two different pieces of information for them to help you.
Hope this helps, and the link to the management page is https://appleid.apple.com/

HT5312 I forget "Security Questions' Answers" for my Apple ID.

I forget "Security Questions' Answers" for my Apple ID. I did not add a rescue email while creating it too. Therefore, i am not able to purchase any apps from "AppStore". Any solution to solve this problem? Thanks!!!!!!

Go back to the article you asked this question from and use the link to contact the iTunes Store staff in the 'Additional Information' section. If you don't already have a valid rescue email address, you can't reset the questions yourself, and nobody on these boards can reset them for you.
Setting up a rescue email address requires correctly answering two of the questions.

HT5312 Forget security questions answers

Hello o have forget my security questions answers how D oo van reset them?

The HT5312 page that you posted from has instructions for how to reset them i.e. if you have a rescue email address (which is not the same thing as an alternate email address) on your account then steps 1 to 5 half-way down that page should give you a reset link on your account.
If you don't have a rescue email address (you won't be able to add one until you can answer your questions) then you will need to contact Support in your country to get the questions reset (these are user-to-user forums).
Contacting Apple about account security : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5699
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 HT5312 page that you posted from to add a rescue email address for potential future use

HT201303 I'd like my security questions/answers reset.

I'd like my security questions/answers reset.

Method 1 (preferred)
On a computer, go to https://appleid.apple.com/ and select "Manage your Apple ID". Log in with your Apple ID and password, then select Password and Security from the left column.
Supply the answers to your security questions and click Continue. You need to know the answers to your existing security questions before you can change them or create new questions.
If you do not remember your answers, there may be a link on that page where you can have a reset email send to your "Rescue email address", as long as you provided one in the past. This option will not appear if you have not already provided a Rescue email address.
About the Rescue email address: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5312
Check all your known email addresses for their response, which will contain further instructions to follow. The email is automated and should arrive immediately. Check your spam / junk folder if you believe you did not receive it.
Method 2 (you cannot perform the above and you're stuck)
If there does not seem to be any way to reset your security questions, you need to contact Apple.
Start here:
https://expresslane.apple.com/
Navigate the columns as follows: All Products and Services > iTunes > iTunes Store > Account Management > iTunes Store account security
Answer the questions and if required sign in with your Apple ID and password - same one you used to log in on this support forum.
You will find an option to send an email to Apple on that page. Compose a thoughtfully worded email explaining your dilemma, and politely ask to have your security questions reset. There are over 400 million iTunes account holders and Apple receives a great many of these questions every day, so make sure yours is easily understood.
You should receive a confirmation email immediately. Check your email spam / junk folder for it because a humanoid should respond in a business day or two, who will probably request you provide some more security-related information before your questions can be reset. You will have to wait for another reply which will provide instructions for resetting your password and your answers to the security questions.
Normal business hours apply, so if it is Friday you may have to wait until Monday.
These back-and-forth emails may result in a week of correspondence before it is fixed.

If you can't remember them then go to Express Lane and select 'iTunes' from the list of 'products' in the middle of the screen.
Then select 'iTunes Store', and on the next screen select 'Account Management'
Next choose 'iTunes Store Account Security' and fill in that you'd like your security questions/answers reset.
You should get an email reply within about 24 hours (and check your Spam folder as well as your Inbox)

HT201303 I cannot remember my security question answers. What do I do?

I cannot remember my answers to the security questions. Can I reset them?

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)

HT201303 What about changing the security questions?

After my account was hacked in to I'm pretty sure they changed these, as mine no longer work

Sice I was having the exact same issue with my account and trying to make a purchase I found my solution by calling the apple support line that I found online, I'm not the greatest of problem solvers or talking to people over the phone for that measure but I did, call they asked me a few questions and where able to change my 2 security questions once they fixed it I was able to log in and change my password but now I write down my passwords and keep them in a very secure location just in case I ever needed them again it really does help. I hope that this will help you in any form of trying to change your security questions.

HT201303 What about changing the security questions not the apple id password

I'm trying to buy an app on the app store it asked for my apple id which I knew but then it asked for two additional passwords for verification I inputted those in but it said they where wrong I tried several more times all the answers where the ones I thought I used originally but no. My question is how do you change theses two passwords and not the main apple id password but the back up ones.

  Congratulations on being the next victim of Apple's current SNAFU!  
If you don't have a rescue email address set, then you're SoL.
If you do, then reset your info and check in there.
If not, you'll have to contact iTS, and wait for God knows how long for Apple to complete its pending investigation in this SNAFU.

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
