    Hi,



    Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.



    We understand your concern as the PC is locked with BitLocker and you are unable to retrieve the BitLocker Recovery key from your Microsoft account.



    In this situation, we would first suggest you to set the PC to default BIOS settings.



    If you still get the option for BitLocker recovery key, then we would suggest you to refer the below article for managing the security info on your Microsoft account and later retrieve the recovery key.
