I'm having the same issue. Except someone stole my phone and I don't know who, but I got it back and I don't know their username, but to delete the account you have too. Let me know if you find anything!
If you are the original owner of the phone, you can force it into recovery mode to restore it as explained here: If you can't update or restore your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch. You will then go through the setup screens on the phone to reactivate it. This will require entering the ID and password that were used to activate the phone originally. -

I just created an iCloud email and I want to use that email for my iTunes account as well. I need help switching the old apple ID because I do not remember anything associated with that email and I don't know the security questions or the login for that old email.
You cannot do that. The AppleID you used to create the iCloud account is an active primary email address. The email address you created with the iCloud account is also an active primary email address (all Apple domain email address automatically become AppleIDs as well). You cannot replace the primary email address on one active AppleID with the primary email address on another, active AppleID.
You can use your iCloud email/AppleID with iTunes, but it will be a separate account, so all your previous purchases remain tied to the other AppleID you have.
I don't understand your statement that you could not remeber your old AppleID password, as you would have had to use it to create the iCloud account in the first place (the first step of creating the iCloud account required you to login with your existing AppleID and password)? -
I signed into my Apple ID on a new phone and I already had it on my iPod. When I signed into the new phone it won't let me buy anything unless I know my old security questions but I don't know the answers to them. How can I get past those or change them?

I forgot the answers for the security questions and when I try to change them (My Apple ID -> Manage your account -> Password and Security) I'm asked to answer the exact questions I'm trying to change because I don't remember the answers. How can I do it?
Can't you try the email option instead?

Am I do not know how to change my rescue email as it is wrong and in can not remember my answers to my security questions so I want to change them but I can't as I have the wrong rescue email anyone know how to change your rescue email
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 the page that you posted from to update your rescue email address for potential future use. -

I can not access purchase anything using my Apple ID because I forget my security question to verify that it's me and forgot my password to my rescue email up change my security question. What do I do?
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.

HT4759 I can't remember my answer to the security question and I need to reset my apple id password
hi I have tried to reset my password and cannot do it. I can't remember what date of birth I used (I don't usually use my real one) and when I tick the option to send an email to my address, I can't receive the email because I can't log in to my apple id
Welcome to the Apple Community.
Start here (change country if necessary) and navigate to 'Password and Security', reset your security questions using the link provided, you will receive an email to your rescue address, use the link in the email and reset your security questions.
If that doesn't help, 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. -
Every time i try to buy something from the AppStore on my iPad or iPhone 4S i cant because i most answer the security question but I don't remember my security question answer, when I try to go change it from my Apple account he ask me the security questions agin and I don't know the answer help plzzz, note: I can't call the apple support because I live in Saudi Arabia
If you don't see the 'send reset info' button on the page where you can change them then I assume that you don't have a rescue email address (which is not the same thing as an alternate email address) set up on your account. As you won't be able to add one until you can answer 2 of your questions, you will need to contact iTunes Support or Apple to get the questions reset. You could 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 try Apple ID Account Security

I forgot to answer account security, so how can I find answers or change questions and new answers
Can you help me ,please???From a Kappy post
The Three Best Alternatives for Security Questions and Rescue Mail
1. Use Apple's Express Lane.
Go to https://expresslane.apple.com ; click 'See all products and services' at the
bottom of the page. In the next page click 'More Products and Services, then
'Apple ID'. In the next page select 'Other Apple ID Topics' then 'Forgotten Apple
ID security questions' and click 'Continue'. Please be patient waiting for the return
phone call. It will come in time depending on how heavily the servers are being hit.
2. Call Apple Support in your country: Customer Service: Contact Apple support.
3. Rescue email address and how to reset Apple ID security questions.
A substitute for using the security questions is to use 2-step verification:
