  1. Bitlocker key


    Hi, I clicked the Bit-locker tab to get the recovery key, but it asked me to enter the last 4 digits of the phone number linked to the account, so a code could be sent to the phone. I entered the number but the code hasn’t been sent. It’s been two days now and this is truly frustrating. Is there another way to obtain the Bit-locker key, so I can start using my laptop? This is two days now and it's affecting my work. I don't have another laptop to work with.

    :)
