Windows 10: Bitlocker lock out

Would be great if someone could get back to me, as locked out for 30 days! Cheers - Bitlocker has locked my laptop after updated - I have tried to get into my microsoft account but says it will send a code to me but never does, how do I get to talk to someone at Microsoft to take bitlocker off or at least open my laptop and or get my MS a/c to send me code so I can use it? Or DOS instructions to turn off would be good, tried a couple of the net but no joy so far.

cheers
