    Choice during BitLocker recovery process?


    I am setting up BitLocker on a single Windows 11 Pro computer. I don’t want to use a Microsoft account on the machine. I would like to know beforehand whether and how BitLocker will allow me to choose between the recovery options.BitLocker recovery overview https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/security/operating-system-security/data-protection/bitlocker/recovery-overview describes the recovery options. It shows the BitLocker recovery screens for the 256-bit recovery key .bek and 48-digit recovery password .txt. But it doesn’t give any information how I can switch between these 2 opt

    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!
