See this on how to update or change your security questions if you still have your Apple ID credentials and your rescue email address

  1. Sign in to appleid.apple.com.
  2. In the Sign-In and Security section, select Account Security.
  3. Under Security questions, select Change security questions. 
  4. Choose your new security questions and their answers, then select Update.
  5. Enter your Apple ID password, then select Done.

If you’ve forgotten your answers, I suspect that you might have to change-over to AppleID’s 2-Factor Authentication (2FA).


It’s easier (no answers to forget) AND FAR more secure.


If so, you will be well-served by thoroughly familiarizing yourself with these two articles:


Pay particular attention to setting-up multipleTrusted Numbers. (They’re important)
