  1. Can I disable my BitLocker without admin rights, but with the bitlocker recovery key?


    I have a laptop running on Windows 10 Home with an admin and user account. I use the user account, but forgot the password of the admin account. I don't have a recovery stick for it, neither do my answers to "what was your first pet" etc. work.Now I tried booting a tool from an USB-Stick to reset the admin passwort, but forgot that my SSD was bitlocked automatically, because I use Windows 10 Home.Is there any way to resolve this issue, except reinstalling Windows?

    :)
