Try contacting Support in your country and see if they can reset the questions (they will need to confirm your id and that it's your account) and remove the 8 hour block : Contact Apple for help with Apple ID account security


If your country isn't on that page then try this form to contact Support : https://www.apple.com/emea/support/itunes/contact.html


When they've been reset, and if you don't already have a rescue email address on your account, you can then add one for potential future use so that you will be to reset them yourself in the future : Manage your Apple ID primary, rescue, alternate, and notification email addresses

Or if it's available in your country you could change to 2-step verification : Frequently asked questions about two-step verification for Apple ID
