    The BitLocker recovery key is linked to the Microsoft account used on the system. You can try to access it here: https://account.microsoft.com/devices/recoverykey

    This article provides detailed information on how to find the key: https://support.microsoft.com/windows/find-your-bitlocker-recovery-key-6b71ad27-0b89-ea08-f143-056f5ab347d6

    Unfortunately, if the recovery key is not available, it won’t be possible to access the system because of BitLocker encryption. In this case, the only option is to format the hard drive and reinstall Windows.

    The Bitlocker recovery key for your computer was automatically stored in the Microsoft account that was used to install (or re-install) Windows most recently. If you do not have access to that Microsoft account, I am very sorry to say that you will never be able to unlock your computer.
