how can i retrieve my iCloud security code

I have a new iPhone6 with 8.1.2 and i get messages to authorize icloud using the security code from another device. I don't know that security code. How can i reset it without knowing it? I tried from an iPAd, tried to reset the security code. I don't know the status or the code. Can someone please help?

iPhone 6, iOS 8.1.3, 64gb model mg852ll/a

Hey deirdre99,


If you are being prompted for the security code and you do not remember it, take a look at the article to walk you through resetting it. It should be just a matter of going to Settings > iCloud > Keychain > Advanced > Change Security Code, then enter in your iCloud password and create a new one. Let me know if this helps or need further assistance.
