TS2446 I forgot the security questions answer

I'm using my new mini iPad but I can't purchase any thing because I forgot my security questions answer
Please I need help

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

  • TS2446 What can I do if I forgot the security question answer ?!

    What can I do if I forgot the security question answer ?!

    Make sure you have a credit card listed in itunes (at least temporarily)  before you call. Call them and they will identify your phone and ask you info about your credit card. WAIT until they reset your security questions then MOST IMPORTANT remove your credit card information. Also set a secondary email address in the security question section for next time. This will save you 40 minutes.

  • I forgot the security questions answers

    I forgot the security questions answers & alternative email address also

    Do you know what your rescue email address is ? An alternate email address is not used for resetting security questions. If you don't know your rescue email address, or don't have one on your account (you won't be able to view / add /change it until you can answer your questions), then you will need to contact iTunes Support / Apple in your country to get the questions reset.

    When they've been reset you can then use the steps half-way down this page to view and/or add a rescue email address for potential future use : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5312

    Hi,
    How can reset i forgot the answer for my security question?

    Didn't the link to contact the iTunes Store staff in the 'Additional Information' section of that article work for you? If you don't already have a valid rescue email address, only Apple itself can assist with recovering lost answers.

  • HT5312 i forgot the security questions and i have no idea how to reset them

    hey, how do I reset my security questions? i done it before many times but today i forgot the security question answers. also, I've been using the same devise everytime which is my ipod touch.

    Read the HT5312 page that you posted from, it has instructions for how to reset them i.e. if you have a rescue email address (which is not the same thing as an alternate email address) on your account then steps 1 to 5 half-way down that page should give you a reset link.
    If you don't have a rescue email address (you won't be able to add one until you can answer your questions) then you will need to contact Support in your country 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 HT5312 page that you posted from to add a rescue email address for potential future use

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