I forgot the answer to one of my security questions!

I'd rather not call up Apple as I have anxiety and I hesitate while I am on the phone to anyone.
I just want to know how I can reset my questions/answers.

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'.
     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.I forgot the answer of my apple IDs security questions.Could you recover it for me?

Everyone here is just a fellow user, so no one here recover or reset your questions. See the information below.
How to reset your Apple ID security questions
Go to appleid.apple.com and click on the blue button that says 'Manage Your Apple ID'.
Log in with your Apple ID and password. If you have forgotten your Apple ID password, go to iforgot.apple.com first to reset your password with a password recovery email.
Go to the Password & Security section on the left side. Then underneath the security questions click on the link that says 'Forgot your answers? Send reset security info email to [email]'. This will generate an automated e-mail that will allow you to reset your security questions.
If that doesn't work, or there is no rescue email link available, then:
click on 'Temporary Support PIN' that is in the bottom left side, and generate a 4-digit PIN for the Apple Account Security Advisor you will be contacting later.
Next, go to getsupport.apple.com. If you see a message that says 'There are no products registered to this Apple ID, simply click on 'See all products and services'.
Choose 'More Products & Services', then 'Apple ID'.
A new page will open. Choose 'Other Apple ID Topics', then 'Forgotten Apple ID Security Questions'.
Click the blue 'Continue' button.
Select the contact option that suits your needs best.

Forum Tip: Since you're new here, you've probably not discovered the Search feature available on every Communities page, but next time, it might save you time (and everyone else from having to answer the same question multiple times) if you search a couple of ways for a topic, both in the relevant forums and in the Apple Knowledge Base before you post a question.
Regards.

I forgot the answer of my apple IDS security question

hello. I forgot the answer of my apple IDS security question . could you recover it for me? when I click the button it sends forgot to my account and I have this email and can not see the message

That is not your address, look again. @apple.com is not a public email system.
If you use Apple email then your address will end with @mac.com, @me.com or @icloud.com

HT5312 What if you forgot the answer to the security questions

I can't buy apps because I forgot my security question I need help 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 Security' and fill in that you'd like your security questions/answers reset.
You should get an email reply within, I think, about 24 to 48 hours (and check your Spam folder as well as your Inbox)

HT5312 what if you forgot the answers to your sequrity question?

I would like to add more divices to this account but i forgot my sequrity question answers, please help! please send you answer to [email protected] Thank You!!!

Then you use the link in that article to contact the iTunes Store staff; while there are other ways of contacting Apple, you'll need to do so somehow, as nobody on these boards can actually reset the questions.

HT5312 I forgot the answers to my Apple ID Security Questions and can't purchase anything on the iTunes or App Store.

I recently attempted to purchase a song on the iTunes store, and after I typed in my password, Apple gave me a Notification telling me to answer my Security Questions. After I answer my Security Questions, they were somewhat incorrect. I kept trying and trying to answer the questions correctly, they were still incorrect. Then, it said that my Apple ID will be locked if I kept attempting to answer the Security Questions. I obviously have forgotten my answers that I typed in a few years ago. Please get back to me as soon as you can.

You need to contact Apple, either through the link in that article or by phoning them and asking for the Account Security team.

HT201363 Say if you have only TWO security questions for your Apple ID, and if you forgot the answers to them, how can you change your security questions?

Help please, anyone?

Hello Livi4321,
Thanks for the question. If you do not remember the answers to your security questions please refer to the following article:
Apple ID: All about Apple ID security questions
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5665
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 password
     - sign 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.
If you continue to have issues, please contact our Account Security Team as outlined in this article:
Apple ID: Contacting Apple for help with Apple ID account security
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5699
Thanks,
Matt M.

If you forgot the answers to your Apple ID security questions

Hi good day,
I need to change security questions. As you tell as
Select “Send reset security info email to [your rescue email address].” If you don't see this link or don't have access to your rescue address, contact Apple Support as described in the next section.
But the massage not show to me.
Thanks.

You need to ask Apple to reset your security questions; this can be done by clicking here and picking a method, or if your country isn't listed, filling out and submitting this form.
They wouldn't be security questions if they could be bypassed without Apple verifying your identity.
