FileVault is set to keep unauthorized access...
you can read more about your Recovery Key
Set up a recovery key for your Apple ID
If you encrypted your Mac’s boot disk with FileVault 2 —
this prevents you from using your Apple ID to reset your password
(since the password is used in FileVault’s encryption). Read this Apple support document for more information about FileVault.
see: Protect data on your Mac with FileVault - Apple Support
And a recovery key is normally sent to some device that you have designated such as an iPhone or to an email account you have designated. You must go there to get it and then enter it to carry on.
