Hi

Unfortunately you wont be able to recover lost access keys. You will need to re-create the IAM user and create new access keys.

See https://docs.aws.amazon.com/IAM/latest/UserGuide/id_credentials_access-keys_retrieve.html

If you have AWS Config active, you can find the configuration of the IAM User there (policies, groups, etc) to recreate it.
