Windows 10: I don’t have a Bitlocker Recovery Key and now I can’t access my computer.

I was trying to disable secure boot and now I need a “Bitlocker Recovery Key” I have no idea what that is and when I tried to find it on the website it said I had no keys, now my computer is effectively bricked. Is there anyway to make a recovery key or get rid of this screen as I’ve even tried reenabling secure boot and still no luck. Please anyone help me with this it is stressing me out.

BitLocker recovery key

Hello Ravita,

Depending on how the BitLocker Recovery Key was saved, you can use an option in the tutorial below to find it.

If you did not save or have the BitLocker Recovery Key available, then you will end up having to reset or clean install Windows 11. You will of course lose everything if having to do this.

I can´t recover my Bitlocker

My computer Dell did an update and at the restart, I couldn't log-in anymore. I tried many times but nothing worked and now, the computer asks for the Bitlocker key, which I don´t have and checking my windows account, my computer is not even shown. I don´t know what to do anymore, the information in that computer is really important. I have the ID and the unit name. Please, if someone know, I´m a student living abroad, someone please help me, I cannot whipe that drive.
