Windows 10: Bitlocker recovery key is not unlocking

My laptop computer was not working and I sent it out for repair. Before sending I removed my SSD drive with all my data. The repair center could not repair the computer so I bought a new one and installed the SSD with my data in the new computer. It asked me for my bitlocker reocvery key which I provided. All is will do is give me an error inaccessible_boot_device.What do I need to do to access my data?

Unlock Bitlocker

Hello Imam Subhi,

since you never set up a BitLocker password or recovery key, the only way to unlock the drive is to use the recovery key that was generated when BitLocker was first enabled on the drive. To find your lost recovery key, you'll need to follow the steps in Finding your BitLocker recovery key in Windows - Microsoft Support.

Important:

• If you are unable to locate the BitLocker recovery key and can't revert any configuration change that might have caused it to be required, you’ll need to reset your device using one of the Windows recovery options. Resetting your device will remove all of your files.
  
• Microsoft support is unable to provide, or recreate, a lost BitLocker recovery key.
  

Hope it helps.

Best regards,

Lei
