Hi nimra226,


Am wondering where you might have saved a copy of your recovery key.


Apple Support;'s article below says:

"it's important to keep your recovery key in a safe place.

You might want to give a copy of your recovery key to a family member, (?)

or keep copies in more than one place.

That way you always have your recovery key when you need it."


Seems you need to signed in to your Apple ID before you can generate a new recovery ey.


How to generate a recovery key

You can generate a new recovery key

from Settings or System Preferences 

on a trusted device signed in with your Apple ID.

All the best :-)

If necessary, try turning off the recovery key that you forgot, instead of generating a new one.


On your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch

    1. Go to Settings > [your name] > Password & Security. You might need to enter your Apple ID password.
    2. Tap Recovery Key.
    3. Slide to turn off Recovery Key.


If requested, enter your iPhone's passcode.
