Hey toyosolanky, thanks for posting your question today.
I'm afraid that without access to the account, you won't be able to turn off the two-factor authentication.
Do you have access to your backup codes? If so, see how to use them to regain access to your account here.
I hope this helps and if you have any questions, let us know.

If you don't have access to the authentication device, and you don't have the backup codes, there's no way to gain access to the account.
