Hi, I'm John! I will help you with this.

Just to confirm, have you already checked this page? https://account.microsoft.com/devices/recoverykey

If you set up or used the device with a work or school account, you can also check here: https://aka.ms/aadrecoverykey

A few things to consider:

• If the device was purchased second-hand, gifted, or preconfigured (for example, by a store or organization), the BitLocker key might be stored under the original owner’s Microsoft account.
• If you set it up using a different Microsoft account in the past, try signing in with that account as well.
• Sometimes, during setup, the key is saved to a local file or printed copy instead of the online account, worth checking your saved files or printouts.

Unfortunately, if the key isn’t available in any of these places, it can’t be retrieved by anyone, not even Microsoft support. BitLocker is designed to protect your data through encryption, and without the recovery key, it can’t be bypassed.

Let me know how it goes or if you have any further questions or concerns.
