Cannot reset security questions.

Hello,

I recently tried login into my account and was prompted with several security questions which I forgot the answers to since I haven't used any apple devices in more than 6 years. When I went through the process of resetting the security questions it told me that there is not enough evidence to change it and now I am stuck in this loop that I cant access my account, what can I do? Are there other ways to verify my identity, such as previous devices used on, or purchases made through the store?


Thank you in advance for your help.

Best Regards,

Mike
