I couldn't reset my security question, I tried multiple times

I lost my phone 2 years back. But still using my apple ID for job search and other purposes.


Now, I tried login and reset my password but I could slightly remember my security question and answers. I tried but couldn't succeed with my attempts after multiple times. Now, it is not allowing me to reset as well.


Please help to overcome this challenge.


Regards


Krishna

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

 

By preventing you from resetting your security questions, Apple has notified you that you cannot answer them 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.
