Q: how do I reset iCloud recovery email address if the one I provided no longer works?

When I set up my iCloud account, I used an email address for Recovery, but that email address is no longer valid. I can I reset, when I can't receive a verification code that is sent to that old address?

Thanks,

If you are currently locked out of your account, you can't. You will have to contact Apple Account security.

I'm not locked out, I just wanted to update the old email address to a new one....when I click on the "edit" next to the email, it automatically wants to send a verification code to that email address, which I don't have access to anymore.
