how can I change your password without a recovery key?

I need to change my Apple ID password however, I do not have a recovery key. All other options suckle me around to need a recovery key regardless of whether I go through confirmation verification codes or whatever. I would really like to regain access to my Apple ID. Thank you. I

You are sign in here .  .  .  with your Apple ID & Password.

Your Apple ID is the personal account you use with all Apple products and services. It includes the email address and password you use to sign in, as well as the contact, payment, and security details that you use with Apple.

You can’t merge multiple Apple ID accounts.

 

What happens when you use the same Apple ID & Password that you use to sign in here?
