This is a huge longshot but basically, i have lost my iphone 16 pro max in a river in bosnia while kayacking.
I tried logging into my iCloud account to track it, but i forgot my password so went on to try to reset it but it’s asking for my Recovery Key, which I didn’t write down stupidly and i didnt read what enabling a recovery key actually entails. Me enabling recovery key on my iphone basically overrides any attempt to reset a password and takes away authority from apple and i can only reset the password with the recovery key.

Now I can’t sign in, and i am smart guessing passwords but no luck. I changed my password literally 2 weeks ago and again stupidly wrote it in my iphone notes which i can not access. My last 5 years is on that icloud account, messages, vids, pics etc... VERY important things that i need but i've lost it all. Before people talk about awareness and etc.... Yes i know i was quite stupid to enable recovery key without reading what it entailed but i guess its a very hard way to learn a lesson. I don't know if there is any way at all to hack into an icloud, or even iclouds notes etc... with the recovery key enabled. But if anyone can offer help it'd be apreciated and i dont mind compensating for it.
