    Have you done any recent

    1. Hardware changes (e.g., new motherboard, TPM module).
    2. BIOS/UEFI updates or changes.
    3. Secure Boot being disabled.
    4. A forgotten password or incorrect PIN attempts.

    If you can't find your recovery key, unfortunately you have to go for a reinstall.
