HT5312 How to effectively reset my security questions & I cannot see the Rescue mail link?

I was using my iPad yesterday and attempted to make purchases in iTune Store but was led to answer Secutiry questions before being told it was the first time of using it to make a purchase...
I have used my iPad to purchase many apps, music songs, and videos with the Apple ID, and I did not understand why the device cannot be recognized but the first time to buy in iTune.
Anyhow, I was now locked after guessing wrongly too many times on my annswers to the Security questions.
I've tried the troubleshooting in Apple Support online to follow its steps. However, there was no link next to "Forgot your answers. Send reset security info email".
I had already my alternative emails verified in my Apple ID account when it was created. What should I do? I'd appreciate very much if some expert from the Community could offer a helping hand or share similar experiences. Thanks in advnace!

The 'send reset' link only appears if you have a rescue email address set up on your account - an alternate email address is a separate address/setting on your account.
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, and you will need to contact iTunes Support or Apple to get them 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 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.

  • HT5312 How do I reset my security questions and set up a rescue email?

    When I go to reset my security questions, I don't get the option to send an email to my 'rescue email' or to even set up a rescue email and on the apple support page it says I should have that option.

    The page says that you will get the reset option if you have rescue email address on your account, if you don't have one then you will need to contact Support in your country to get the questions reset.

  • HT5312 How do i reset my security questions if i have no rescue email?

    I made an account a while ago and now I'm trying to buy apps and I forgot my security answers and I don't have a rescue email. How do I reset my questions or change my answers? Please help! Thank you.

    The reset link only shows if you have a rescue email address (which is not the same thing as an alternate email address) set up on your account. 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 will need to contact iTunes Support / Apple to get the questions reset.

  • How do I reset my security questions if I forgot the answers and don't have access to my email?

    I for got the answers to my security questions. I can't retrieve the answers because I don't have access to my old email account. how do I reset my security questions, if I forgot the answers and don't have access to my email?

    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.

    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.
