If you find you still have problems getting past the security requirements, you can request account recovery (go to this document: How to use account recovery when you can’t reset your Apple Account password - Apple Support ) to regain access to your account. Account recovery might take a few days or longer, depending on the specific account information you can provide to verify your identity. One tip to using account recovery is to look for options in small blue letters in the main login screen and keep on using those if you find you cannot add the required information for the main request.
