    The correct BitLocker recovery code for your computer was stored in the Microsoft account that was used to install (or reinstall) Windows most recently. If you no longer have access to that particular Microsoft account, and no one made a backup copy of the recovery code, I'm very sorry to tell you that neither you nor Microsoft nor anyone else can unlock your computer. Your only recourse is to erase the hard drive and reinstall your software.

    If your drive is encrypted with Bitlocker, the only place the Bitlocker Recovery key is automatically stored is on the associated Microsoft account on the link below, be sure to check any Microsoft account that may have been used on the PC and also any work or school account that may be linked to the PC.

    (Note, even if your device does not show on the Microsoft account, the Bitlocker Recovery Key may still be available on this link)

    https://account.microsoft.com/devices/recoverykey

    Are you able to find the Bitlocker Recovery Key on any account that may have been used or linked to the PC?
