  1. Cannot reset pin after using bitlocker recovery


    Booted computer in Linux, forgot what account was linked to bitlocker, eventually got it back and entered key. Tried to reset PIN after forgetting, after logging into MS account I get a screen that simply says "Something went wrong We weren't able to set up your PIN. You can try again, or skip this step and set up a PIN later."Pressing "Retry" brings to a brief loading screen and straight back to the previous one. "Skip for now" brings back to Windows lock screen with prompt to enter PIN. "Sign in options" does not show up, only wifi, accessibility, and power. We've tried on at least 4 differe

    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!
