Windows 10: BitLocker recovery key identification number (32-digit number) but how to retrieve my...

Hi, as I can see my BitLocker recovery key identification number (32-digit number) but how could I make use of this ID to get my BitLocker recovery key (48-numeric digits) as I have not do backup earlier on my MS Account.


Any advice if I could recover my key (48-numeric digits) from using the BitLocker ID ?

:)

 

BitLocker Recovery Key can only enter numbers ,not letters

A new disk of what? Windows 10?

The numerical password I get in the command mode is 32 digits mix of letters and numbers. How does this translate into all numbers?

 

Recovery Key Number

Hi Alexander,

You can find the instructions for retrieving your BitLocker Recovery key on the Windows Support site at this link: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/4026181/windows-10-find-my-bitlocker-recovery-key

The following text comes from that link:

• 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 in to 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.
    
  • In your Azure Active Directory account. For work PCs where you sign in with an Azure Active Directory account, to get your recovery key, see the device info for your Microsoft
    Azure account.
    
• 
  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.
    
• If you still can't get in, you'll need to reset your PC. Learn how.
• If you want to make a backup of your BitLocker recovery key: Select the Start button, type BitLocker, select Manage BitLocker from the list
  of results, select Back up your recovery key, and follow the prompts for your preferred backup method.

 

Can we reduce the number of characters in the BitLocker Recovery Key ? If YES, How ?

While performing a Drive Recovery in BitLocker 2.5 R2 for Windows 10. We usually get a 48 digit numeric Recovery key while performing a Recovery. So my question is - Is it possible to reduce the number of characters in this recovery key. If YES, How? If
NO, why ?
