    We are fellow users here on these user-to-user forums, you're not talking to iTunes Support nor Apple - I've asked the hosts to remove your email addresses from your post (it's not a good idea to post personal info on any public forum).
    The reset link will only show if you have a rescue email address on your account - an alternate email address is a different address/setting on an account, and it's not used for resetting security questions.
    If you aren't getting the reset link then you don't have a rescue email address, and you won't be able to add one until you can answer your questions - you will have to contact Support in your country 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 on this page to add a rescue email address for potential future use : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5620
    Or, if it's available in your country, you could change to 2-step verification : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5570

  • HT201363 How do I reset my Security Questions if I don't remember the answers? There are 2 questions and I know my password.

    I just bought an iPad Mini and when I tried to buy something it asked the security questions, I didn't know the answers to either question. Now I'm stuck and can't purchase anything until I fix this. Please help.

    Hello Flyaway_souls,
    Thanks for the question, I understand how frustrating this may be. If you do not recognize your security questions, or do not know the answers, see the following article for steps on how to reset them:
    Apple ID: All about Apple ID security questions
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5665
    What should I do if I don't remember the answers to my Apple ID security questions?
    Try answering them at least once to see if you can get them right, even if you are not sure you remember the answers to your security questions.
    If you are confident you can't remember them, try one of the following:
    If you have three security questions and a rescue email address
         - sign in to My Apple ID and select the Password and Security tab to send an email to your rescue email address to reset your security questions and answers.
    If you have one security question and you know your Apple ID password
         - sign in to My Apple ID and select the Password and Security tab to reset your security question.
    If you have one security question, but don't remember your Apple ID password
         - contact Apple Support for assistance. Learn more about creating a temporary support PIN to help Apple confirm your identity when you contact Apple Support.
    If you do not see the option for resetting your questions with a rescue email address, see this excerpt:
    Note: The option to send an email to reset your security questions and answers will not be available if a rescue email address is not provided. You will need to contact iTunes Store support in order to do so.

  • HT201363 How can you reset your security questions if you can't remember the answers?

    Hello! my question is how can you reset your security questions if you don't remember the answers?

    You need to ask Apple to reset your security questions; this can be done by phoning AppleCare and asking for the Account Security team, or clicking here and picking a method, or if your country isn't listed in either article, filling out and submitting this form.
    They wouldn't be security questions if they could be bypassed without Apple verifying your identity.

  • HT5312 This advice above is useless, as I don't get an option to send an email to my rescue address (it is verified) to reset security questions. Any suggestions fellow mac users?

  • How do you reset your security questions if you don't remember the answers?

    How do I reset my security questions if I don't remember my answers to the original quesitons?

    I have the same problem. I didn't set a rescue email for some reason. To find out weather you hav a rescue password: Go to appleid.apple.com, sign in, go to manage account and then password and security if you do there will be a link below telling you that you can send an email to it. If not the link won't be there. Hope this helps.

  • How can I reset my security questions? When I go to the password and security section it asks for the answers to my security questions.

    I keep reading that you can reset your security questions by going to the "password and security tab" in you apple id account. When I do this, however, it first tells me to enter my answers to the security question to verify my idenity. It there another way to reset them?

    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 about your "rescue email address" - 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 - http://support.apple.com/kb/HE57.   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.
