Bitlocker Causing Chaos

Question

Hi, over the 24 hrs ago I’ve been pulling my hair out over a program called Bitlocker which is less user friendly than a virus and it locked down my laptop with all my business work inside, I went down every road even trying to cmd but no routes available, all other options not available apart from the 48 digit code in my Microsoft account, as id not logged in via laptop for that long I blocked my account with my 2 step email being old and unavailable and then had account recovery not believing its me even though im still logged in on my phone,

I’ve tried chat and it just ends up with me being sent links to recovery which is frustrating as id already done it, it’s a shame can’t change password with the outlook app. Is there way to get into bitlocker or bring my email recovery forward so I can get the codec my business is really going to struggle without laptop access

Answer 1

Hello，

You have to unlock it with a password or Bitlocker recovery key.

You can refer to this link to find the Bitlocker Recovery Key, if it cannot be found, you cannot access the laptop.

Find your BitLocker recovery key - Microsoft Support

**Important:**Microsoft Support is unable to provide, or recreate, a lost BitLocker recovery key.

Best Regards,

Thanks 👍🏻 I need to get into my email that’s in recovery its the only way, the code will be there as it’s the same email connected to the laptop locked by Bitlocker, in 30 days once I get that email access back I can then get my code, Bitlocker seems less user friendly than a virus!
