Since BitLocker was activated by itself, there’s also no way the recovery key could be on a printout.Ĥ. This is a home/personal computer (nobody ever used but me), so the recovery key cannot be on Azure Active Directory service (just to follow some people’s advice, I’ve still created an account and checked there just in case but nothing).ģ.

The hyperlinks Microsoft OneDrive - Access files anywhere. Regarding the other possibilities where BitLocker recovery keys may be found:ġ. How is that possible given that this was the correct account that was used to setup the device, the device is listed in the account, and it even tells me BitLocker ON? It seems that no recovery key is associated with my account. I was almost happy to see my nightmare end until I got this… However when I clicked in “Manage” then “Get Biclocker recovery keys”: Sure enough, my device was listed there, I went clicking on Devices, Manage.

Of course, I’ve contacted Microsoft Support, checked since the past sleepless 5 weeks a lot of KBs, forums tried many prompt commands, different BIOS settings, watched hours of videos, contacted recovery software companies (like Elcomsoft, Passware, TheGrideon.) all of them said their product won't be much help in my case because my drive seems to be encrypted with a numeric password (which is a 48 digits recovery key).Now all my internal SSD contents got encrypted on their own.After some crossover tests, I’ve found out that the RAM memory got damaged so after replacing it, I could have the screen turning ON, and instead of going to Windows, I had again the damn BitLocker recovery screen.So once, I got the new keyboard, I’ve replaced it but as misfortune never comes alone, despite the laptop was turning ON, and the fan spinning, the screen remained black.I’ve said to myself, once I get the laptop fixed, this should not happen. So I’ve thought, it is just protection (like someone who stole the laptop/drive) and was trying to steal the data.While I was waiting to get the spare, I removed the internal drive and plugged it into another laptop and there I got a BitLocker recovery screen.One day a little bit of soda poured out on it so I’ve turned it OFF immediately, dried it but it didn’t help, some keys stopped working, so I’ve decided to replace the keyboard.I have a Lenovo X270 laptop that was running Windows 10 Professional. Sorry this post is quite long because I want you to understand well my case (and surely hundreds of thousands Win users)
