Had the same issue a number of months ago, in the end after a number of telephone conversations with Apple support they had to reset my password for me.


I couldn't reset it as it had changed my birthday which was part of the security question.


I'm now waiting for them to ring me again as it had changed my first name to just an initial, which is not mine. I have now reset this but am concerned as to why it is doing this.


It has also now done the same to a friend, locked her out of her emails, she can't reset the password as it no longer recognises her security question ( mothers name ).
