"Cannot Reset Security Questions" message appear when I try to reset my security questions. What can I do to get access to my account?

I could not verify my Apple ID email address although I entered the correct verification code sent to my email. Although I am using the email, I lost access to my Apple ID because I forgot answers of my security questions, an the message "Cannot Reset Security Questions" appears whenever I try to reset them. What can I do to get the account back?

If you are being told there isn't enough information to reset them, contact Apple ID Support.


If you don't know the answers, if the steps in the article below don’t work, contact Apple ID Support, although based on multiple posts I have read, they will not help you recover the answers to your security questions.
