    Bitlocker- "Failed to unlock with this recovery key"


    Wndows recently had an update. Upon restarting the computer, I am prompted with option to enter the recovery key. I was able to retrieve the key from my outlook account which is what I use to login to my account. I typed in that key but it gives me an error (title). I noticed that recovery id part that shows up on outlook account is different from the one I have on my desktop. How is this possible, when I have never used another device with that outlook id?

    In my outlook, surface pro 4 is added as a device with correct drive capacity information and upon clicking it leads me to that recovery key. So, its not like some other device was registered and its recovery id is copied.

    This computer dual boots with Linux. It has been fine until windows did an update.

    Any suggestions?

    Thanks.
