TS3297 how to get the answer to a forgotten security question.

how do i recover the answer to my forgotten security question

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 then see if the instructions on this user tip helps : https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-4551

    Hello Carpets,
    Thanks for the question. You can reset your security questions with your rescue email address, as outlined with this article:
    Apple ID: All about Apple ID security questions
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5665
    If you do not see the option for resetting your questions with a rescue email address, see this excerpt:
    Note: The option to send an email to reset your security questions and answers will not be available if a rescue email address is not provided. You will need to contact iTunes Store support in order to do so.

  • HT5312 I have forgotton the answere to my second security question so that i can change my password. I have tried more than 8 times

    I have forgotten the answerer to my second security question and i have exceeded 8 attempts. How should I proceed? I wanted to change 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 cant remember the answers to my itunes security questions. Therefore i cant buy any new apps,films, podcasts etc.Please help.

    I cant remember the answers to my apple security questions. So it wont let me buy anything on the itunes or app store. Please help.

    The option to send reset info will only appear if you have a rescue email address (which is not the same thing as an alternate email address) set up on your account. If you aren't getting the option then that implies that you don't have a rescue email address, and you won't be able to add one until you can answer 2 of your questions - you will need to contact iTunes Support or Apple to get the questions reset.
    e.g. you can try contacting iTunes Support : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page, then Account Management , and then 'Forgotten Apple ID security questions'
    or try ringing Apple in your country and ask to talk to the Accounts Security Team : http://support.apple.com/kb/HE57
    When they've been reset 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.
