Cannot reset security questions - not enough information

Apple refused to accept my original password and security answers. Same answers I always use for those questions. I reset my password and now it doesn't have enough information to reset my questions.


Why do I pay for a subscription to cloud storage of music that I seldom use, often "loses" music I've uploaded from my cd's, and now I cannot even get into iTunes to upload MORE music from a new cd I just bought.

Windows, Windows 10

From the Apple Support 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.

Based on multiple posts I have read, they will not help you recover the answers to your security questions.

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

 

By saying "we don’t have sufficient information to reset your security questions," Apple has notified you that you can't answer your security question 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 notification, 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.
