Need recovery key for first gen iPad running 5.something

I cannot follow the directions offered a year or so ago for resolving this problem. My original iPad asks for a recovery key--and I can't find one anywhere despite my compulsive record keeping for passwords and such.


In addition there is no "get new RK" in the Security section of my Apple account.


Suggestions?


Thank you!
