I forgot my security question answers, how do i recover them?

I havent used my iPhone in a very long time, and just recently I decided to use it again. I decided I wanted to buy a couple of apps, but iTunes is asking for security questions, and I forgot the answers to them, how does one recover said answers?

From http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5665 :
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 (the steps half-way down that page should give you a reset link)
If you have one security question and you know your Apple ID passwordsign 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 passwordcontact 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 can’t reset them via the above instructions (you won't be able to add a rescue email address until you can answer your questions) then you will need to contact iTunes Support / Apple in your country 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 this page to add a rescue email address for potential future use : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5312

I forgot my security question answers, how do I reset them?

Read the HT5312 page that you posted from, it has instructions for how to reset them i.e. if you have a rescue email address on your account then steps 1 to 5 half-way down that page should give you a reset link.
If you don't have a rescue email address then you will need to contact iTunes Support / Apple in your country to get the questions reset.

Forgot my security question answers, how do I reset them?

I forgot my security question answers...... How can I reset them??? Help!!!

It's not due to lack of reading the screen. I'm getting the same thing on one of my apple id accounts. I logged in using two other accounts I have and each had a slightly different behavior. One had the "reset password by email" button above the security questions that I could modify just fine.
However, my primary account which is used for accessing other services with Apple will not allow me to see the "reset password by email" or allow me to edit my security questions. It gives me a combination of two questions out of three possible. Unless I get the answer right, it will not let me reset the password or change my security questions.
I've scanned the web pages in painful detail and am not missing any instructions or other links that might help get around this "chicken and the egg" problem.
The primary difference between the problematic Apple ID and the others I've used is that it was associated with a Family Pack mobile me/.mac account. It was the primary account. Wonder if there is some special code to protect the primary account id so that the other five Mobile Me/.Mac accounts won't get compromised. Just grasping at straws ...

HT201303 i forgot my security question answers - how do I change

how do you access or change account info if you forgot your security question answers and have no alternate email address set up to verify.

  Congratulations on being the next victim of Apple's current SNAFU!  
If you don't have a rescue email address set, then you're SoL.
If you do, then reset your info and check in there.
If not, you'll have to contact iTS, and wait for God knows how long for Apple to complete its pending investigation in this SNAFU.
