Windows 10: BitLocker recovery key same for 2 devices, how can I unlock a device?

BitLocker recovery key same for 2 devices, how can I unlock a device? It windows 11 and after a windows update it couln't boot up with out a bitlocker key. Can't backup becasue there is no valid bitlocker key. One shows in microsft account but it's assigned to two devices and it's invalid.I can't backout the updates either, it's telling me there was a problem. Diagnostics didn;t seem to find anything wrong.

How to define [Device] - [BitLocker recovery key] pair

I want to delete not-associated-with-any-pc BitLocker recovery key. Device name in 'About' and that shown on the listing page for BitLocker recovery key seems to be different. Windows installed date in 'About' and registered date for BitLocker seems to
be different, too. As my desktop devices experienced reinstall at problem before, it is uncertain which device listed are actually in use. If a bootable USB could be counted, I wish know how to identify them, too. Thank you very much.

 

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
