The Three Best Alternatives for Security Questions and Rescue Mail
1. Use Apple's Express Lane.
Go to https://expresslane.apple.com ; click 'See all products and services' at the
bottom of the page. In the next page click 'More Products and Services, then
'Apple ID'. In the next page select 'Other Apple ID Topics' then 'Forgotten Apple
ID security questions' and click 'Continue'. Please be patient waiting for the return
phone call. It will come in time depending on how heavily the servers are being hit.
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:

Hello Racheljez,
I would be concerned too if I was not able to access my Apple ID. I found some resources that I think will help.
First, I recommend reviewing the following article for steps in resetting and updating your password to gain access to your account:
Apple ID: "This Apple ID has been disabled for security reasons" alert appears
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2446
If you are not able to gain access to your account after following the steps in that article, I recommend using the following link for additional assistance in accessing your Apple ID:

Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
Best,

Am I do not know how to change my rescue email as it is wrong and in can not remember my answers to my security questions so I want to change them but I can't as I have the wrong rescue email anyone know how to change your rescue email
You won't be able to change it until you can answer 2 of 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 page that you posted from to update your rescue email address for potential future use. -
HT201303 i forgot my answer of my security questions ,could u tell me how to reset it?
i forgot my answer of my security questions ,could u tell me how to reset it?
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 -

I dont know the answers to my security questions and my rescue email no longer exists
I do not remember the answers to my security questions since i made my account like 10 years ago. I can't use my rescue email since it no longer exists. Our previous email provider (wecare.net) was shut down. I want to keep my apple id since i still have money on my account and do not want to lose it. What do I do?? i have no idea if this is the right community since there isn't one just for apple id's.
