    Bitlocker encryption support and 48 digit key

    Managed to "break" bitlocker, need help with unlocking drive, have 48 digit recovey key - Maybe raise bug report

    So I might have found a way to break Bitlocker, to explain how it happened step by step:
    I have a windows 10 install and the main drive was encrypted with Bitlocker, using pin to unlock every time you power on the computer.

    I had a ram upgrade, which was causing instability issues, so I cleared the CMOS data from the bios. (This apparently deleted the data in the TPM)

    I was asked to unlock the drive using the 48 digit key, this was not a problem as I had the key securely stored, so I unlocked the drive and booted to windows successfully.

    However I was finding it annoying to have to enter they key every time, so after googling a bit, I entered command line and using the manage-bde command I DELETED the key, using -remove protectors <ID>

    This left the bitlocker with only TPM and PIN as protectors. <- this is the problem

    When rebooting the computer, bitlocker now indicates There are no recovery options available, since tpm and PIN are not allowed at boot to unlock when the system found changes in the hardware. I did boot successfully so Im not sure what steps I should have taken so the key was stored again on the TPM, maybe reencrypting bitlocker?

    When trying to unlock the drive using a windows USB, status shows as

    Size unknown GB

    Bitlocker version 2.0

    Conversion status: unknown

    Encryption method: xts-aes 128

    Protection status: unknown

    Lock status: locked

    Identification field: unknown

    Automatic unlock: disabled

    Key protectors: Tpm and pin

    And trying to unlock using the 48 digit key yields failed to unlock drive.

    My windows was on an offline account install.

    Is there any recourse to unlock the drive?
    I believe its a microsoft oversight to not let pin unlock the drive if there are no other protectors available, or at least suspend bitlocker encryption if it is in an "unrecoverable" state.
