    I am locked out of my computer by Bitlocker recovery and don't have the key recovery number


    My laptop Lenovo Yoga, Windows 11 ran completely out of battery and I’m now facing the BitLocker recovery screen.I’ve never activated/enabled BitLocker on this computer and I’ve never received a key to save or note on a piece of paper, nor do I have it saved on a usb. I've got my ID number and my device is in my microsoft account but there is no bitlocker recovery key to be seen.There is vital data on my computer so it would cause me great difficulty to re-set the computer and re-install windows.'Recovery key hints' section on this Microsoft page seems to imply that a BitLocke

  3. BitLocker recovery number

    I need a BitLocker recovery number and Microsoft listed three for me but my number is older.

    I need the Bitlocker recovery number for Desktop-G56NOSG dated 6/24/2017.

    Other information; Key ID = FDD6ADB1

    Link id number is 857635

    This is for a Lenovo MIIX 320-101CR and nothing works without the BitLocker recovery number.

    I can not access by other login and even the F8 key is not working since it can't find the keyboard.

    Thanks,

    BitLocker recovery key

    My computer is locked by BitLocker and the recovery key is not showing in the Microsoft account (the device is listed). How can I generate/retrieve the key (I don't have it stored anywhere)?
