A Recovery Key was used in conjunction with the older Two-Step Verification process for an Apple ID. You were required to keep note of the key ... even writing it down. Apple does not store them and cannot assist you with them.

At this point you will need to ask Apple's Apple ID Account Security team for further assistance with this matter. To contact them, click here and pick a method; if that page doesn't list one for your country or you're unable to call, fill out and submit this form.
