How can I regain access to my Apple Account without recovery key?

What to do if you lose your recovery key and you can't get full access to your iCloud. Can it be replaced or removed in some way? I can provide all my data, fully confirm that the account is mine, if it helps. I really hope that this is possible, and it can be fixed.

The fundamental reason for enabling the Recovery Key is to block all other means of changing a lost or forgotten Apple Account password.


You’ll either need to find or to remember the Apple Account and password, or locate the Recovery Key.


If you have access to the Apple Account and password, you can either re-generate the Recovery Key, or can disable its use.


Otherwise, without the password or the Recovery Key, the Apple Account will remain inaccessible.

Войти в Айклауд я могу, но из за того что поставила шифрование на нем не могу ни выйти ни сделать резервную копию данных. При попытке выйти выбивает обновление данных просит ввести пароль от самого айфона, его я ввожу правильно, а после ключ восстановления. Его нигде не могу найти и вспомнить куда если сохраняла то сохранила. А по другому оно просто даже не дает мне поменять свои страницы Айклауда.
