BitLocker recovery key

Hello Ravita,

Depending on how the BitLocker Recovery Key was saved, you can use an option in the tutorial below to find it.

If you did not save or have the BitLocker Recovery Key available, then you will end up having to reset or clean install Windows 11. You will of course lose everything if having to do this.

Forgot Bitlocker password. where to find the recovery key?

Hello Anil,

Thank you for posting your query in Microsoft community.

I know how this concerns you and will help you out with the issue.

I understand that you forgot your password and you are not able to find your recovery key.



Depending on how your PC is set up, there are different ways to get your recovery key.

If your PC is connected to a domain

Contact your administrator to get your recovery key.

If your PC isn’t connected to a domain

There are several locations in which your BitLocker recovery key might have been saved. Here are some places to check:

• 
  Your Microsoft account online. This option is only available on non-domain-joined PCs. To get your recovery key, go to
  
  BitLocker Recovery Keys.
  
• 
  A saved copy of the recovery key. You might have saved a copy of the BitLocker recovery key to a file, a USB flash drive, or printed a hard copy.
  

• • • If you saved the key to a file or printed it, find your copy, follow the instructions on your locked PC, and enter your key when prompted.
    • If you saved the key to a USB flash drive, insert the USB flash drive and follow the instructions on your PC. (If you saved the recovery key as a file on the USB flash drive, you’ll need to open the file and manually enter the recovery key.)

Unfortunately, if you can’t find your key, and no other administrator on the PC can find a backup copy either, you’ll need to restore the PC to factory default settings. Only choose this option as a last resort because it will delete your personal
data from the PC. While it helps protect your data against unauthorized access, it also prevents you from ever accessing your data again.

Depending on your Windows configuration, you might be able to restore your PC to its factory default settings directly from the Windows recovery screen.

Bitlocker recovery key is not working

I forgot my bitlocker password on a fresh 32 bit flash drive. I saved the file for recovery and when I try to use it, it says the key is not valid for this drive. It's the correct key, the only drive and I've checked it 5 times. What sense does it make to
make a recovery key if it doesn't work when you need it. I used bitlocker in windows 10 to do this.

Anyone see this before or any suggestions?

Thanks in advance.
