HT5312 What if you don't receive the email to reset security questions
We haven't received any of our emails to reset security questions what can we do
These are user-to-user forums, you are not talking to Apple here.
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 -

Hi I do not remember my security question answers, i want to change my password
Hello, QJS1.
Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
You can reset your Apple ID password via the steps in the first article below. I would select the option to send email verification since you do not remember the security question answers. If you are still unable to reset this Apple ID, see the second article below.

Hello,
I have suddenly decided to purchase some music off iTunes Today (Oct 21 - 19:45 CET) and I have forgotten my security questions. I therfeore had to try and reset them using my rescue email address. I clicked "Send reset security info to ..." on the apple.id.com page. I went over to hotmail and i couldn't remeber my password so tried the security questions which I also couldn't remeber. What I am trying to ask is, Is there anyway that I can change/reset my security email under the "Passwords and Security" sections of appleid.apple.com and under the question tabs?
If so could you please tell me.
Thank you for helping me.No, you won't be able to change it until you can answer 2 of your questions - you will need to contact iTunes Support / Apple to get the questions reset.
Contacting Apple about account security : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5699
When they've been reset you can then use the steps half-way down this page to update your rescue email address for potential future use : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5312 -

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!
