    I forgot my security questions, why can't I change them in my account management screen?

    I suspect that is for security reasons. The following gives instructions on how to reset them:  http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5312
    Note the last paragraph in particular if you don't have a rescue email address:

  • I forgot my security questions, so I my ID Apple is blocked

    I forgot my security questions, so I my ID Apple is blocked

    Hi
    I used my computer connect to the iphone, and go through " appleID.com", and open manage account, I type myapple ID and password. I can see my information about my iphone. But when I turn on my phone and type my apple ID and password, It say incorrect.
    Now it means the problem come from " technique". Because the apple ID in the phone is diffrent the apple ID from computer where I set up the iphone.
                If someone say: I made some misstakes when I type my apple ID and password, so the message says : incorrect ID or paasword.
                Or this phone came form onother people
    The answer for two reasons above is : If it is not my iphone or I type wrong apple ID or password, therefore I can not able to use, access and remove my account. Infact I have used this phone and download some program from apple store and I also reset my password. After I try to remove my account and then creaate a new account which I type in the same ID and password. It massage say incorrect ID or password.
    I also see the difference between apple store and apple support, why? because when I reset my password, I received the email from apple support " your password had been reset". It means my apple ID and password is correct. But now my phone cannot use, because it incorrects ID or password.
    Your sistuation and me are similar. You forgot ID or password, I reset my iphone, after that I also have incorrect ID or password.
    I think, if apple know about problem is very hard to use or take time to solve the problem. theofre the customers will be reduce. They should change  " how to make easy way to use but safe " is the better.

    I'm trying to reset my apple ID password but forgot my security questions. Apple are sending the confirmation e-mail to the wrong address, please help?

    Hello AndrewsAFCx,
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities!
    If you cannot remember your security questions for your Apple ID, I would recommend these steps outlined in the article named:
    Apple ID: All about Apple ID security questions
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5665
    What should I do if I don't remember the answers to my Apple ID security questions?
    Try answering them at least once to see if you can get them right, even if you are not sure you remember the answers to your security questions.
    If you are confident you can't remember them, try one of the following:
    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. 
    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 password
    contact Apple Support for assistance. Learn more about creating a temporary support PIN to help Apple confirm your identity when you contact Apple Support.
    Note: If you have forgotten your password and answer your security questions incorrectly too many times in a row, you will be unable to try to answer your security questions for a period of time. During that time you will not be able to reset your password and will not have access to your account.
    All the best,
    Sterling

    Welcome to the Apple community.
    If you are unable to remember your password, security questions, don’t have access to your rescue address or are unable to reset your password for whatever reason, your only option is to contact AppleCare, upon speaking to an operator you should explain that your problem is related to your Apple ID, this way you will not be charged for assistance, even if you don’t have an AppleCare plan.
    The operator will take you through some steps you may have already tried, however they need to be sure they have exhausted all usual approaches before trying to reset your account, so you should try to be helpful and show patience with the procedure.
    The operator will need to verify they are speaking to the account holder and may ask you some questions that only the account holder could know, and you will need to answer them if the process is to proceed.
    Once the operator has verified your identity they will send a message through to your device which contains an alpha numeric code, which you will need to read back to them.
    Once this has been completed they will send an email to your iCloud email address after a period of 24 hours, so you should check that mail is enabled in your devices iCloud settings.
    Upon receipt of the email, use the reset link provided to reset your password, after which you should be able to make the adjustments to iCloud that you wish to do.
