If you can't remember your answers then you will need to contact Support in your country to get the questions reset - you won't be able to change the address until you can answer them.


Contacting Apple about account security : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5699


When they've been reset you can then use the steps half-way down the HT5312 page that you posted from to update your rescue email address for potential future use :


  1. Navigate to My Apple ID using your web browser.
  2. Click "Manage your account"
  3. When prompted, sign in using your Apple ID and password.
  4. Click Password & Security
  5. You'll be asked to answer 2 of your 3 security questions before you can make any modifications. If you are unable to remember your answers, you can choose to send an email to your rescue email to reset your security questions.
  6. After you've validated your identity by correctly answering your security questions, click Editto the right of your rescue email address.
  7. Once you've finished editing your rescue email address, click the Savebutton directly below the email field.
