Hello maricris257,


In order to generate a new recovery key, you will need to have a trusted device - which is a device using the same Apple ID.


As per How to generate a recovery key - Apple Support:


Using a recovery key is more secure, but it means that you’re responsible for maintaining access to your trusted devices and your recovery key. If you lose both of these items, you could be locked out of your account permanently. With that in mind, 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.


So if you have access to another device, you can follow the steps listed in that article to generate a new key.


Cheers!
