HT5312 I have forgotten the answers to my security questions
I have forgotten my Apple ID security answers also not sure if I have set up a recovery email address and what it is
If you follow the steps half-way down the HT5312 page that you posted from then you will be able to tell if you have a rescue email address on your account - if you get the reset link as described on that page then you do (and if you know what the full email address is).
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.
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

I have forgotten the answers to my Security questions, would you kindly please reset them. Thank-You
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 -
I need to retrieve my security questions without having to go through all the menus in here, I have an active account and keep getting shut down when trying to answer the questions. Can't Apple just email me my forgotton answers?
If you have a rescue email address (which is not the same thing as an alternate email address) set up on your account then steps 1 to 5 on the page that you posted from should let you reset them : go 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 should see an option to send security question reset info to your rescue email address.
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 - which is usually done by phone as you need to prove your id and that it's your account e.g. somebody else hasn't got your iTunes account password and is trying to purchase on your account.

HT1920 What if I have forgotten the answers to my security questions
What if I have forgotten the answers to my security questions?
You need to ask Apple to reset your security questions; ways of contacting them include clicking here and picking a method for your country, phoning AppleCare and asking for the Account Security team, and filling out and submitting this form.
They wouldn't be security questions if they could be bypassed without Apple verifying your identity.

HELP... I have forgotten my answers to my security questions, how do I retrieve them?
Hi,
Since I originally posted that info APple have changed the page.
There are less Menu items but in Password and Security I get shown the Security Questions.
However rather then showing me the possible response it now want me to fill them in.
It also shows my recovery email (Shown in a partial format but enough detail so I know which Account it is) if I have forgotten the answers to the Questions.
IF I fill in the Secruity Questions answers then the pages to what I had previously described.
I can edit the recovery email address, change the Questions and Answers and even change my date of birth.
