Troubleshooting Recovery Keys:

You may be able to have this created directly by Apple. You'd take it in for a Genius Bar Appointment at your local Apple Store. There, it would be diagnosed, and you'd be provided with your option. You would have to have a proof of purchase with you (i.e. original receipt, packaging invoice, or original packaging) along with a valid ID.

See the article How to generate a recovery key - Apple Support

Using a recovery key is more secure, but it means that you’re responsible for maintaining access to your trusted devices and your recovery key. If you lose both of these items, you could be locked out of your account permanently. With that in mind, it's important to keep your recovery key in a safe place. You might want to give a copy of your recovery key to a family member, or keep copies in more than one place. That way you always have your recovery key when you need it.

Note : without a device , and recovery key the account can never be recovered .
