Being able to answer your security questions satisfactorily is critical in the Apple security system. See Security and your Apple ID https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201303

 

This document says “without proof of your identity via security questions and other carefully selected criteria, Apple Support can't help you reset a password or perform any other actions on your account.”

 

Thus, if you can't answer your security questions satisfactorily, you will need to have an extenuating circumstance to move forward in solving your problem (e.g., have your original purchase receipt for a pertinent device with its serial number on it). If you think you have any possible extenuating circumstance, contact contact Apple Support. Here are some support options you can use:
