2. In the Sign-In and Security section, select Account Security.

3. Under Security questions, select Change security questions.

4. Choose your new security questions and their answers, then select Update.

5. Enter your Apple ID password, then select Done.

It's very important to remember the answers to your security questions to avoid being locked out of your account. And make sure that you add and verify your rescue email address ( About your Apple ID email addresses - Apple Support ). If you forget the answers to your security questions, you'll need a rescue email address to help you reset them."
