Hey there suleiman86,


Thanks so much for using Apple Support Communities.


We can certainly understand what it's like to forget your password, that's something we all deal with at some point. The recovery key may be a bit more tricky but we're happy to share some additional information on this so that you understand what you're working with.


The recovery key is something you would have generated at some point in the past. This key is something you can use to improve the account security of your Apple ID, by utilizing a randomly generated 28-character code to regain access to your Apple ID or reset your password. However, this recovery key is not saved anywhere for you and you would have been provided with information suggesting that you write the recovery key down and store it someplace safe should you need access to it in the future. Your recovery key is unique to your account and cannot be reset or recovered if it has been lost or forgotten.


You can learn more here: How to generate a recovery key - Apple Support


If you believe that you may have written that number down, we would recommend looking in some of the more common places that you may have stored it for safekeeping. Only you would know the most likely places something like that may have been kept.


We hope that this information is helpful.


​Have a great day!
