There's this..


• If you forgot the answers to your Apple ID security questions - Apple Support

//support.apple.com/en-us/HT201485


Reset your security questions:

  1. Go to iforgot.apple.com.
  2. Enter your Apple ID, then select Continue.
  3. Choose the option to reset your security questions, then select Continue.
  4. Enter your Apple ID password, then select Continue. 
  5. Follow the onscreen steps to verify your identity. The information you’re asked to provide may vary based on your account details and other factors. If you don't get any options to verify your identity, you can't reset your security questions at this time.
  6. Choose new security questions and answers and select Continue. See our tips for choosing security questions and keeping your account secure. 


And if you had not set up 2FA (two factor authentication)

this may be a time to do that. Some people won't, due to

other considerations, older gear, lack of second device, etc.


Try again and maybe write down those SQ Answers, too?
