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

  • HT5312 I know my apple Id password but forgot my security questions what do I do

    I don't know my security questions but I know my password

    You need to ask Apple to reset your security questions; ways of contacting them include phoning AppleCare and asking for the Account Security team, clicking here and picking a method for your country, and filling out and submitting this form.
    They wouldn't be security questions if they could be bypassed without Apple verifying your identity.

    i forgot my security question apple id
    what can i do ?

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    You might try to see if you can change your security questions. Start here, change your country if necessary and go to manage your account > Password and Security.
    I'm able to do this, others say they need to input answers to their current security questions in order to make changes, I'm inclined to think its worth a try, you don't have anything to lose.
    If that doesn't help you might try contacting Apple through Express Lane (select your country, navigate to iCloud help and enter the serial number of one of your devices)

  • HT5312 How to set a rescue email address when I already have an Apple ID and I forgot my security questions

    How to set a rescue email address when I already have an Apple ID. Actually I forgot my security questions.

    You won't be able to add one until you can answer 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 HT5312 page that you posted from to add a rescue email address for potential future use

  • Hello...sir i forgot my security questions apple

    hello...sir i forgot my security questions apple

    If you have a rescue email address (which is not the same thing as an alternate email address) set up on your account then the steps half-way down this page should let you reset them : 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 2 of your questions) then you will need to contact iTunes Support / Apple to get the questions reset (we are fellow users here on these forums).
    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 the HT5312 link above to add a rescue email address for potential future use

      4. Then choose Account Management;
      5. Now choose iTunes Store Security and answer the bullet questions, then click
          Continue;

    Another user had success doing the following:
    I got some help from an apple assistant on the phone. It is kind of round about way to get in.
    Here is what he said to do and it is working for me...
      a. on the device that is asking you for the security questions go to "settings", > "store" >
          tap the Apple ID and choose view"Apple ID" and sign in.
      b. Tap on payment information and add a credit/debit card of your preference then select
          "done", in the upper right corner
      c. sign out and back into iTunes on the device by going to "settings"> "store" > tap the
          Apple ID and choose "sign-out" > Tap "sign -in" > "use existing Apple ID" and you
          should be asked to verify your security code for the credit /debit card and NOT the
          security questions.
      d. At this time you can remove the card by going back in to edit the payment info and
          selecting "none" as the card type then saving the changes by selecting "done". You
          should now be able to use your iTunes store credit without answering the security
          questions.
    It's working for me ...I just have to put in my 3 digit security pin from the credit card I am using.
    Good Luck friends!

  • How do I reset my Apple ID password without email or security questions?

    I have forgotten my Apple ID password for some time now. I tried to reset it with email but looks like the email is either going to an old ID which no longer exists or I have not set an alternative ID. And also I have completely forgotten the answers to the security questions.

             have a Rescue Email to use this option.

  • I bought a second hand ipad mini and the owner forgot his apple id password i have reset the ipad but i cant deactivate it because its asking for the apple id password i have try to reset the password but its asking security questions what should i do?

    Please help? How can i activate second hand ipad if its asking the old apple id password?

    Take it back. The activation lock is an anti-theft measure and there is no way to bypass it. The seller should have wiped it clean for you and if they can't then it's a very real possibility that the device wasn't theirs to sell in the first place.
    You bought a device that can never function so get your money back.

  • Trying to reset my Firefox sync password, but reset email is never received despite many attpemts.

    I have a sync account. My password is not working. I have made multiple requests for a password reset email, but none have been received. There is nothing in my spam folder. I am stuck. I have a record of my Sync Key (from the old sync account), but I can find no information on how to use it to reset my account. Very very frustrating.

    Hi mrauth,
    Firefox Sync has been discontinued in favor of Firefox Accounts - so that users no longer have to worry about Sync Keys.
    You should be able to reset your password through the Firefox Accounts page:
    * [https://accounts.firefox.com/]
    Please let us know if this works, or if you have any other issues. Please also verify that you are using the correct email address for recovery.

  • HT5312 why do you have to answer security questions to reset them, if you don't know your security questions how are you able to reset them?

  • Changed apple ID password, but cant sign in to apple app store or facetimme

    I couldn't access to apple ID so I changed the password follwing steps to change apple ID password. Then I couldnt at least sign in to apple store, Facetime, Icoloud. What should I do?

    This sounds similar to a problem I had, though I may be wrong. First sign out of everything, the app store and icloud both have there own way of signing out so make sure to do them both.  To sign out of app store go to featured tab then scroll to the bottom and click apple ID, for icloud you sign out under settings. When signing out of iclould you will need to use your old password, so you may need to go back online to the apple website and change your id and password to what it was before.  Once you've signed out of everything go apple website and change you ID and password to what you want it to be. Then go and sign back into everything.  I hope this helps. It might not be the best way but it worked for me.
