Wht won't Apple allow me to reset my information?

My Apple ID is old an I don't remember any of my information. After I reset my password, Apple still doesn't let me sign in because I don't remember my security questions from 8 years ago. How do I resolve this?

You can contact Apple ID Support, although I’m not sure they will be able to help. People have been posting that Support won't help.

From the article below. 


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. These policies are audited and reviewed on a regular basis.

See If you forgot the answers to your Apple ID security questions https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201485

 

Apple has indicted that you can't answer your security questions satisfactorily. So 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, given Apple's indication, we can do nothing to help you, except to mention that Apple support might help you if you have an extenuating circumstance (e.g., you have your receipt for your purchase of a pertinent device from an authorized Apple seller with its serial number on it). If you want to contact Apple Support to discuss any possible extenuating circumstance, see the support options below. Alternatively, if an Apple Store is open in your area, then you can go there to deal with your extenuating circumstance. You also can make a genius-bar appointment (https://www.apple.com/retail/geniusbar/) if you want.
