Just to make sure I understand. You don't remember your Apple ID password, as well as, your password recovery key ... correct?
If so, you are basically locked out of your Apple ID as creating a recovery key turns off the alternate option of account recovery. As such, you are responsible for the key as Apple has no means to recover it for you.

If you generated a Recovery Key, you were required to write it down and keep it in a safe place. It's not something anyone can be expected to remember.
You are supposed to remember your usual login password though. If you can't remember it, then follow these instructions: If you forgot your Mac login password - Apple Support.
