Resetting AppleID security questions

Good Day


I have not forgotten my password and can access my account with no problem however i am having a problem authorizing my pc as it asks me to enter my ID and Password and once i have done that it then asks me to answer two of the three security questions i answered when setting up however i cannot remember them at all so now i would like to know if i can reset them in anyway. I have e-mailed apple support and all i got was i must reset my password and as you can tell by now that is not the problem i am having.



Thanks

Windows 7, Apple Account

Hi,


If you know your Apple ID and the current password you can access the Apple ID site and change (reset) the Security Questions (and their Answers).

If you have a rescue email address (which is not the same thing as an alternate email address) on your account then following steps 1 to 5 half-way down this page will give you a reset link on your account : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5312


If you don't have a rescue email address (you won't be able to add one until you can answer your questions) then you will need to contact Support in your country to get the questions reset : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5699


When they've been reset (and if you don't already have a rescue email address) you can then use the steps half-way down the HT5312 link above to add a rescue email address for potential future use

Hi,


If you have forgotten you could start here

As you know you Password for your Apple ID you can use the Manage option to login then the Menu to access the Security Questions and password item.

This will show you the current questions, which may be enough to jog your memory.


If not Login via iForgot and reset via email.
