Help

I've misplaced my recovery key and am quite concerned. I'm hoping someone can offer advice on how to retrieve it. I understand the importance of this key and would greatly appreciate any assistance. I've already tried a few things, but haven't had any luck so far. Any suggestions would be helpful.

It is currently stored on my Microsoft account but the key doesnt work whenever i enter it manually.

    Hello,Mo Daoud

    Regarding the recovery key, you can find it in the following places:

    • Active Directory (AD)
    • Azure Active Directory (AAD)
    • Microsoft Account
    • MBAM
    • 3rd management application
    • Other methods like notepad/pdf/USB

    1.If you are logged in with ad account,You need to first ensure that the following policies are configured.

    Please install the following feature on ad dc side, then open ADUC and look for the recovery key.

    Domain Administrator privileges are required or delegated permissions must have been granted by a domain administrator.

    Normal users will not see the recovery key and cannot search for it.

     

     

    2.If it's a Microsoft or Azure networked account login, it may backup into the Onedrive corresponding to one of those accounts.Try to find it from the following link

    3.If you are using MBAM to manage the recovery key, You can refer to the following documentation to view the recovery key：
