TS2446 cannot remember answer to security questions

when i go to purchase apps, it asks me security questions. it locked me out after multiple unsuccessful attempts. any ideas on how to reset the questions?

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

    See above. My daughter had an iphone on my account. She has not purchaed anything for a while and is required to answer security questions. Cannot rmember wnswers snd us threatening to lock apple id. Help!

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Start here, and reset your security questions, you will receive an email to your rescue address, use the link in the email and reset your security questions.
    If that doesn't help or you don't have a rescue address, you might try contacting Apple through iTunes Store Support

  • HT5577 cannot remember answer to security questions and already reseted password

    Why am i being asked for security questions to make itunes purchase?

    you have to call apple.  at 1-800-694-7466  and ask for account security. they will need you to create a pin via appleid.apple.com and one other piece of info.  you may want to add a credit card to itunes before calling they can use that to reset the questions.
    Peace, Clyde

  • HT1918 Cannot remember password or security question. Email password reset does not come to email address. What can I do?

    I have lost my passwrod for Itunes account. I do not remember answer to security questions, choosing email reset instructions does not come to email my account (checked Spam folder already). My teenage daughter setup information and cannot find it.
    What can I do.

    As I stated before, cannot access reset password without the answer to security questions and email is not showing up.
    If all you can offer is "contact support" or add a link to reset password, please do not bother with a reply.
    Was hoping someone could read the entire problem and offer something besides the obvious "contact support" which is totally useless without security question answers or email reset instructions which, as stated, are not coming to my email address.

  • Lost iCloud Password. Cant remember answers to security questions and retrieval email no longer in service. Please help

    Hi, I have a friend who has lost his iCloud password. We cannot remember the answers to the security questions and we can therefore not retireve an important pages document that is backed up to iCloud. Is there any way to retrieve the password based on the correct birthdate and the username? I can even supply the date (to within 2 days) of when the account was created.
    I cannot find any way to communicate with someone at Apple directly, who could help me out.
    P.S. We are based in South Africa, so there is no Apple Store that I could go to. Apple itself is only represented here through a 3rd party.
    Your, any, help would be greatly apprecited.
    Kind regards
    Oliver

    try calling hotline, they can send reset link to your other email
    here are their phone numbers

  • TS3297 I cant remember answers to security questions

    I cannont remember the answers to my security
    Questions??

    If you have a rescue email address (which is not the same thing as an alternate 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 (you won't be able to add one until you can answer 2 of your questions) then see if the instructions on this user tip helps you get them reset : https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-4551
