If you know your current password then you can change it by logging into your account via the Store > View Account menu option on your computer's iTunes, by tapping on it in Settings > iTunes & App Store on an iOS device and logging into it, or via http://appleid.apple.com.


If you can't remember your current password then try http://iforgot.apple.com


After changing it you may need to log out and back into the account on any iOS devices, and possibly computer's iTunes (Store > Sign Out menu option) and then log back in

Do you know your current password, and if so do you have a rescue email address on your account ? If yes to both then the steps half-way down this page will give you a reset link on your account : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5312


If you can't remember your password and/or 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.


Contacting Apple about account security : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5699 (they should also be able to reset your password)

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
