    Bitlocker Recovery Issue


    Hello!I am a technician at a relatively small organization, and we have a few laptops that we are having Bitlocker issues with. Whenever the machine enters the Bitlocker lockout, it does not give you the option to enter in the key, it asks for the keyboard layout and then only has two options, shutdown, and troubleshoot. When going into the recovery command prompt, the C: drive can not be found either. Is there any possible way to unlock the machines? What's really strange about this issue is that we use Bitlocker with Active Directory, and this issue only happens on a specific model of laptop

    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

    Hi Rick,

    Please follow the suggestions below and check if you are able to boot to your desktop.

    • Places to look for your BitLocker key:
      • On a printout you saved. Look in places you keep important papers.
      • Saved on a USB flash drive. Plug the USB flash drive into your locked PC and follow the instructions. If you saved the key as a text file on the flash drive, use a different computer to read the text file.
      • In your Microsoft account. To get your recovery key, go to
        BitLocker Recovery Keys.

    • Or ask someone for help:
      • Ask someone with administrator privileges on the same PC to unlock it with their key.
      • If your PC is connected to a domain (usually a work or school computer), ask a system administrator for your recovery key

    Hope this helps in resolving the bitlocker recovery keys. Keep us posted on the bitlocker recovery key issues. We are happy to help!
