I do not remember my security question answers
How do I reset my security question answers? I dont remember them
If you have a rescue 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 set up then go to Express Lane and select 'iTunes' from the list of 'products' in the middle of the screen.
Then select 'iTunes Store', and on the next screen select 'Account Management'
Next choose 'iTunes Store Account Questions' or 'iTunes Store account security' (it appears to vary by country) and fill in that you'd like your security questions/answers reset.
You should get an email reply within about 24 hours (and check your Spam folder as well as your Inbox).
Or you could see if the second half of Kappy's reply in this thread helps : https://discussions.apple.com/message/20357006#20357006

Hi I do not remember my security question answers, i want to change my password
Hello, QJS1.
Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
You can reset your Apple ID password via the steps in the first article below. I would select the option to send email verification since you do not remember the security question answers. If you are still unable to reset this Apple ID, see the second article below.

I can not remember my security question answers, is there a way to change them, I want to purchase apps and I can not because I can't answer the security questions.
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.

I do not remember my security questions' answer and I don't have a rescue email, what should I do?
The Three Best Alternatives for Security Questions and Rescue Mail
If you do not have success with one, then try another:
1. Send Apple an email request at: Apple - Support - iTunes Store - Contact Us.
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:

TS2446 I can not remember my security question answers so I have been locked out what do I do?
I can not remember the answers to my security questions so I have been locked out. They wanted me to answer them because I am using a new computer.
Check the AppleCare number for your country here:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HE57
Call them up, and let them know you would like to be transferred to the Account Security Team. -
PLEASE HELP.
I can not remember the answers to the security questions and I no longer have the email that Apple is trying to send the answers to. Is there a way to recover the answers or have the email sent to a different address?

So then I check off send a reset email to change them and the email address comes up with an old email address I no longer can access. That email address is nowhere in my profile! My profile has 3 email address that are active but not this one. HELP... Thank you so much beforehand

TS2446 My apple ID has been disabled because I could not remember my security question answers
How can I reset my security questions I forgot the answers and can't use my iTunes voucher
You might be able to re-enable it via this page : http://appleid.apple.com, then 'reset your password'
You might then need to log out of your account on your phone by tapping on your id in Settings > iTunes & App Store and then log back in so as to 'refresh' the account on it.
For your ecurity questions, if you have a rescue email address (which is not the same thing as an alternate email address) on your account then the steps half-way down this page will give you a reset link on your account : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5312
If you don't have a rescue email address (you won't be able to add one until you can answer your questions) then you will need to contact Support in your country to get the questions reset.
Contacting Apple about account security : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5699 (you can also try this link if you can't get the account enabled via the above)
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 link above to add a rescue email address for potential future use -
I can not remember my security questions answers to use my itune card to purchase things. What do i do or where do I go to retrive the answers?
If you can't remember them then go to Express Lane and select 'iTunes' from the list of 'products' in the middle of the screen.
Then select 'iTunes Store', and on the next screen select 'Account Management'
Next choose 'iTunes Store Account Security' and fill in that you'd like your security questions/answers reset.
You should get an email reply within about 24 hours (and check your Spam folder as well as your Inbox) - but some recent posts are saying that Apple have temporarily suspended the reseting of security question/answers whilst account security processes are improved, so it may take longer -
i canot remember my security questions answers , whene ever i want to dowload any applications i am required to answer them and because i have forgot them i am not able to download any application , i would like to cancel this option and only have the option to answer my password
It isn't an option it is a permanent part of the security protocol, so you need to write the answers down in a secure location or remember them, you will always need them in the future.
Call Apple Care for your country and ask for the Account Security Team, then request help resetting the questions. -

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
