HT5312 Cannot remember security question answers

Cannot remember answers to security questions

Hello Billandrosie,
Thanks for the question. 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.

  • HT5312 Cannot remember security questions or rescue email address.  Where do I go from here?

    Is it possible to have the security questions and the rescue id reset?

    Didn't the link to contact the iTunes Store staff in the 'Additional Information' section of that article work for you? If you don't already have a valid rescue email address, only Apple itself can reset the questions.

  • TS1424 my ipod wont download songs because i cannot remember security question answers

    Any idea?

    This iPad was a Christmas gift. I've bought several apps with it. Now I get a "welcome new user" and a request for verification. I answered the questions 4 years and 2 iPhones ago. The customer support system Apple offers is as nonsensical as "Where's Waldo"...

  • I am not able to remember security question answers

    You need to ask Apple to reset your security questions. To do this, click here and pick a method; if that page doesn't list one for your country or you're unable to call, fill out and submit this form.

  • HT5312 I forgot security question answers

    Hi I forgot security question answers and have become a problem I can not change the email security question
    I can not change the rest of the account I want you to help quickly

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    If you don't receive a reset email or you don't have a rescue address, you should contact AppleCare who will initially try to assist you with a reset email or if unsuccessful will pass you to the security team to reset your security questions for you.
    If you are in a region that doesn't have international telephone support try contacting Apple through iTunes Store Support.

  • 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.

    Cannot remember my security questions. What should I do?

    1. See my User Tip for some help: Some Solutions for Resetting Forgotten Security Questions: Apple Support Communities.
    2. Here are two different but direct methods:
        a. Send Apple an email request at: Apple - Support - iTunes Store - Contact Us.
        b. Call Apple Support in your country: Customer Service: Contacting Apple for support
            and service.

  • TS2446 Cannot remember security questions

    I have a new iPad mini and cannot use my apple account because its asking for security questions and I cannot remember the answers can I please get some help on resetting this, thank you

    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

  • HT201363 Can't remember security question answers and the email I use as Apple Id is no longer active, so I can't get a rescue email/ or verification, what do I do!!!??

    Can't remember answers to security questions and email for apple Id is no longer active, what do I do? Yes I have rang apple and they say I have to answer questions!!!

    What number did you ring ? You won't be able to update your rescue email address until you can answer 2 of your questions. You should be able to get them reset either by contacting iTunes Support or calling Apple.
    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 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
