Hy there I had the same issue: when buying books or music from the itunes store i am requested to answer to 2 security questions. Unfortunately i do not remember any correct answers so my account always gets blocked for 8 hours a d cannot buy anything! The phone support of apple is useless since in order to resolve the problem i need at least one right correct answer to the questions. Apple told me that there is no solution to my prob. I received some itunes gifts at Christmas and cannot do anything out of it...very frustrating!

The reset link will only show if you have a rescue email address on your account, an alternate email address is different.


Support may reply asking you to contact support in your country using the link/number on this page : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5699


When you've got the questions reset you can add a rescue email address to your account (in case you need it in the future) by answering the 2 questions on the Password And Security part of your account on http://appleid.apple.com i.e. by following steps 1 to 7 half-way down this page : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5312
