    Asking for Bitlocker recovery key on login

    So I was playing with BIOS settings for reformatting my laptop and reinstalling Windows using bootable USB drive. I didn't succeed and I probably did something stupid. Now I'm not able to login into my laptop. It's asking me for bitlocker recovery key on both disabled and enabled settings of secure boot.

    On "Enabled" setting, it says "Bitlocker needs your recovery key to unlock your drive because Secure Boot policy has unexpectedly changed."

    I forgot my account and when start my system asked recovery key but I have no key 179380d1520127328t-asking-bitlocker-recovery-key-login-whatsapp-image-2018-03-03-20.18.06.jpg


    On "Disabled" setting, it says "Bitlocker needs your recovery key to unlock your drive because Secure Boot has been disabled. Either Secure Boot must be re-enabled, or Bitlocker must be suspended for Windows to start normally."

    I don't have a recovery key. I don't remember setting one. I even searched for it in my Microsoft account. My device (ASUS X205TA) is listed but the recovery key is not.

    Note that I don't have any useful data in the laptop, so I'd be fine with reinstalling windows even if I loose all the data. I just want to be able to use my laptop again.

  3. Recovery of Microsoft account and recovery key

    I used a phone number to create a Microsoft account for my windows activation and the recovery key belongs to this account. The number is not active anymore and I also forgot the password. There is no way to get this number back. I need to retrieve recovery key from this account before dropping this account and create a new one with currently using phone number. Tried reaching Microsoft account recovery with available info but response is "Unfortunately, our automated system has determined that the information you provided was not sufficient for us to validate your account ownership". If I try to switch to local account, it says "to back up my recovery key before switching". I am worried if switched to local account without back up, I might lose microsoft account forever and recovery key along with it. Kindly provide suggestions to recover the key.

    Initial setup of Bitlocker making system ask for recovery key then reboots

    First, my system is a dual boot of two windows - Window 10 Enterprise and Windows 10 Pro.

    I wanted to bitlocker the system so I started in Windows on the Pro partition. I told it to bitlocker for C: only and then told it to perform a system check first to ensure that everything was going to work right. After clicking ok it immediately wanted to restart the system in order to begin bitlocker.

    After booting it comes to the OS selection screen, I click the Pro Windows and it asks for the recovery key. I entered it but when I hit enter the system just restarts and we do it all over again.

    I'm unsure why this is even happening when I know the thing has not bitlockered the drive yet. How do I get past this?

    EDIT: If I boot into the other Windows I see the drive as Encrypted. When I double click it, it asks for the key. I put it in exactly as is shown on the text file it had saved before but it says the key does not match. Ideas?

    EDIT 2: When I boot the system up and it gets to the enter the recovery key page, the error says "Bitlocker needs your recovery key to unlock your drive because the trusted platform module is not accessible." It then lists the key ID - which matches what I have in the document. I can see that the TPM is enabled in the BIOS though and in the other windows in TPM Administration it states "ready"

    EDIT 3: Windows Version 1803. There was a question during the bitlocker setup which asked me if I wanted the new encryption or the compatible encryption - I had selected the new

    EDIT 4: Just to check, I went through the steps on the other Windows. The last step is the one asking for the system check and says it will restart your computer before performing the bitlocker in order to test that your TPM works. I think (somehow) this screwed up the partition cause it now thinks the data is encrypted - even though it's not - but the key is somehow applied. I may try mounting the drive with a Linux LiveCD to see if I can mount the NTFS partition and see the data on it or something.
