userkey.psw is a file usually found on a Windows Password reset disk, when you start your PC, are you being asked for a Bitlocker Recovery Key on a blue screen?

If you did save the Bitlocker Key to a USB drive, then insert the USB into your PC and Bitlocker should automatically detect the key on the USB.
