If you are talking about the Apple ID recovery key, there is no way to reset it. If you still have access to a trusted device, you may be able to use it to generate a new recovery key. If you don't have access to a trusted device, you will need to create a new Apple ID.

It is no problem, all you need is your Apple ID Password and a Trusted Device. Just follow these steps using your Trusted Device to generate a new one:

  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 on Recovery Key.
  4. Tap Use Recovery Key and enter your device passcode.
  5. Write down your recovery key and keep it in a safe place.
  6. Confirm your recovery key by entering it on the next screen.


If you do not have your Password and Trusted device, then refer to this part of the Support Article:

"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."
