    I turned on my computer and it has a bitlocker message and will not allow me to bypass without a key. I do not know of any bitlocker key. What can I do besides resetting my entire computer?

    BitLocker Recovery Issues

    Hi,



    Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.



    We understand your concern as you are getting BitLocker recovery key prompt, every time you turned on the laptop. We appreciate your effort in troubleshooting the issue.



    Ideally, in Windows 10 BitLocker doesn’t come by default. It could be possible that the BitLocker got enabled during some updates, either Windows update or PC manufacturer update.



    As you have mentioned that you are forced to input the BitLocker recovery key, which is incredibly a tedious process.



    Meanwhile, we would suggest you to disable the secure boot from the BIOS and check if you are able to bypass the BitLocker. Please refer the steps in this article:

    Disabling Secure Boot
