Windows 10: How to retrieve bitlocker recovery key when microsoft wont let you log in.

Hello,I turned on my laptop recently and it asked for a BitLocker recovery key to proceed due to some updates. The only way I could obtained mine was to log in into my Microsoft account, but it asked for a phone number verification, and my previous phone number had been deactivated, and I made the changed to the new one, But for some reason, Microsoft takes 30 DAYS to verify my new phone number and I can’t access my account fully without that phone number verification, hence cant obtain my Bitlocker id. I cannot wait 30 days to access my laptop. How else can I obtain or bypass the bitlocker id

Bitlocker recovery key

Hi,



Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.



We understand your concern as the PC is locked with BitLocker and you are unable to retrieve the BitLocker Recovery key from your Microsoft account.



In this situation, we would first suggest you to set the PC to default BIOS settings.



If you still get the option for BitLocker recovery key, then we would suggest you to refer the below article for managing the security info on your Microsoft account and later retrieve the recovery key.
