I've run into a security question problem

I made my Apple ID when I got my first iPod(2nd Gen) and I was around 8-10. Since then I've gotten an iPad 2 and iPod 5. I have gotten a couple of devices between this timeframe but have never run into this problem. I cannot remember my Security questions, I have never been asked to put them in until now. Like I said I made this Apple ID a long time ago and have forgotten the answers to them. Also I do not have a recovery email set, I saw that you can call apple but that would be weird as I am 15. Any advice?

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.

  • Password problem - and security question problem

    Hi,
    Can anyone help - I seem to have forgotten my password - although I was sure it was right. However, when it asked for my security question - and I really really do know the answer to that, it tells me I'm wrong. I tried it capitalised and all lower case, but no joy. Cant get out of this loop, and cant move forward ie another security question. Any ideas anyone? Ktkaren

  • After 3 years, I got a new iphone5 and ran into the security question issue. Because of the questions apple chose, I have no idea what the answers are. I did the iTunes email thing and waited 36 hours for a response. I

    After waiting the 36 hours, I received an email advising me. To contact a phone support number. After waiting 15 minutes on hold, the helpful person asked me for the answers to the security questions and said that answering them was the only way to reset the questions. I said, WHAT? You don't see any cyclic logic there? Apple (the inovator!) has not foreseen this? I was livid. I was advised I could leave a comment on Apple.com. I think I'll leave my comment on every Apple contract that crosses my desk. I'm IT Systems at a large US university. If anyone from Apple wishes to address this, PM me.

    Thanks! I'm a little leery of attaching a credit card to itunes again because of all the apple database jacking in the past. I had a bunch of unauthorized purchases charged to my account for devices that I never owned. Took me weeks to replace the credit card even though it was never compromised but apple was impotent to fix the issue. On this issue, I finally got the working key to the system. Even though there are BAZILLIONS of ways to verify a person's identity via two forms, using the security questions forgotten as one of them seems to be circular (failed) logic. Seriously, it's like requiring someone's password to reset a forgotten password. My take on the issue fixed by this workflow, that I noticed from the 3 sets of calls and 20 minute wait on each is this.... iTunes was racked by all the fraudulent purchases I (and thousands of others) experienced and people (like me) had to go through all the credit card issues because Apple "would not" fix the issues in iTunes and pursue the fraudulent purchasers (even though Apple had the device IDs!). So we ripped out our credit card info in iTunes. On this security question reset issue, if they can require people to re-enter their credit card info under the guise of "identification ...because your security is so important!) and then take 60 minutes to create a high intensity customer interaction, there is a high probability that the average customer will temporarily forget all about removing their credit card info. It's actually brilliant! ...but very underhanded.... but also very Apple. I don't expect this reply to have a long life-span, but thanks for your response. If I can log into iTunes, I can add any credit card. therefore IF I CAN LOG INTO ITUNES APPLE HAS THE SECOND METHOD ALREADY!  Thanks.

  • Running into a lot of problems deleting an admin account

    It's a long story, but I'm trying to delete the admin account. Things I have tried:
    * Logging out of the unwanted account -> Going to System Preferences -> Unlocking Users & Groups
    I tried to use the minus sign to delete the account, but the minus sign is greyed out.
    * In response to this, I saw one user on a previous thread about this problem suggest going into Terminal and typing sudo dscl . delete "/Users/Account Name" (replacing "Account Name" with the admin account name). When I tried this, I got this message:
    guest1 is not in the sudoers file.  This incident will be reported.
    And then Terminal won't let me continue after that.
    I'm seriously stuck here. Any help would be appreciated.

    I found a solution and deleted the account following the steps from here: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/5664658?tstart=0
    I'm still running into the guest1 is not in the sudoers file.  This incident will be reported. problem though. I need to get past that.

  • HT5312 security question problem

    how can i reset my security question  i forgot the questions and aswers plz help

    If you have a rescue email address (which is not the same thing as an alternate email address) set up on your account then steps 1 to 5 on the page that you posted from should let you reset them : go 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 should see an option to send security question reset info to your rescue email address.
    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 won't get the reset option - 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 (and if you don't already have a rescue email address) you can then use the steps half-way down the page that you posted from to add a rescue email address for potential future use

  • Solution needed - Security questions problem

    I got my Mac in August, with a gift card for $100. However, I was unable to buy anything because I didn't know my security question answers. I tried changing them online, but they never changed. And now I can't change them because I'm locked out of that feature of the site because I don't know my answers and when I try to have the reset information sent to me alternate email, I never recieve it; I may or may not have made a typo in the email if that's the case.
    Anyone know how this issue can be fixed?

  • Security questions problem

    hello,
    I forgot my security answers in app store and they sent E-mail to reset question, but i didn't receive any E-mail form them.
    Please can anybody help me to reset my security answers ..?
    Thank you..

    Hello there, maxmelyanos.
    The following Knowledge Base article provides some great recommendations for issues when forgetting security questions:
    Apple ID: All about Apple ID security questions
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5665
    Particularly:
    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.
    Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities.
    Cheers,
    Pedro.

  • Security question problem

    Hi guys,
    i bought a new iPad today, and when i try to buy something from the app store it askes me for 3 security questions and answers.
    i cannot use the 3rd question fiewld - it brings up no options. any ideas?
    the box is clickable, goes blue but no drop-down appears. i cannot ignore it an continue. i have tried a factory reset and no joy

    I cannot explain why you are not able to answer the questions on your iPad.
    Try this: on a computer, go to http://appleid.apple.com and select "Manage your account". Log in with your Apple ID and password, then select Password and Security from the left column. You will be able to choose your security questions and provide the answers there.
    While you are there, add a "rescue email address" that can be used in the event you forget the answers to the questions you choose. The address must be different than your Apple ID and cannot be one of your additional email addresses you already used with an Apple ID.
