Hello dowds312,


Thank you for using Apple Support Communities. Sounds like you need help resetting your Apple ID password but you also lost your recovery key. If so, we'd like to share some information with you. We recommend that you review the following resource on which steps you can take next: How to generate a recovery key - Apple Support


According to the resource, you can reset your Apple ID by following these steps:

If you forget your Apple ID password, you can try to regain access using your trusted device protected by a passcode. Or you can use your recovery key, a trusted phone number, and an Apple device to reset your password.

If you don't have a trusted device or your recovery key, the resource states this information:

If you lose both of these items, you could be locked out of your account permanently.


We hope this information is useful. Thank you for using Apple Support Communities. Best of luck.
