It depends upon what you mean by "recover" and what you value. You could have Apple just erase it entirely and set it up like new. Of course then your account is still inaccessible.

If you are currently using a mobile device that is logged into your account, go to Settings and tap your name at the top. Look in Keychain, and in a browser's security settings if you use it to automatically sign into Apple when using a browser.
