I forget my account recovery key

An account recovery key is 28 characters long, and completely replaces other Apple ID password-reset mechanisms.

The whole point of using a recovery key is to block all other password-reset paths.

If you enabled an account recovery key, and have subsequently lost it, then your only option is to request a new recovery key using your Apple ID and password and a trusted device, or to user your Apple ID and password and a trusted device to disable the recovery key and revert to the more usual Apple password-reset mechanisms.

If you forgot your Apple ID password and have lost the recovery key, that Apple ID is permanently inaccessible.

No, we can’t.

There is no way to recover it.

You were warned of this when you generated it.

If you still have access to your account or your trusted devices, you can generate another one.

Apple’s warning:

However, if you lose your recovery key and can’t access one of your trusted devices, you'll be locked out of your account permanently.

All password reset paths are blocked.

Gather up your original equipment purchase receipts from Apple or an authorized reseller, and request Apple clear the Activation Lock, and get your gear moved to a newly-created Apple Account. If you do not have the original purchase receipts, then the gear is indistinguishable from lost or stolen gear, and is also permanently inaccessible.

Hi there,

Try this

As long as you remember your Apple ID password and still have access to one of your trusted devices, you can sign in and create a new Recovery Key. Go to your Apple ID account page. Sign in with your password and trusted device. In the Security section, click Edit > Replace Lost Key.

Sorry. You're hosed. You were warned up front that if you lost the key and could not access your account, you would lose access to it forever.
