What instructions have you followed, and what happened when you followed them ? Have you got a rescue email address (which is not the same thing as an alternate email address) on your account : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT6170, and if you do have you received the reset email to it ?
If you don't have a rescue email address (you won't be able to add one until you can answer your questions), or you do but aren't receiving the email to it, then you will need to contact Support in your country to get the questions reset.
