    So I recently decided to update to Windows 11 but once it finished and rebooted I was prompted with the BitLocker page. I had never encountered this before and my laptop is fairly new less than 1 year old. I’ve also never been asked to save the recovery key or anything of the sort. Hoping that my recover key is on my Microsoft account I try to log in only to find that it sent the verification code I needed to my old phone number. There was no option to send it to my email. I changed the phone number to the current one but apparently I need to wait 30 days for it to change. Now I can’t get

  2. BitLocker recovery number

    I need a BitLocker recovery number and Microsoft listed three for me but my number is older.

    I need the Bitlocker recovery number for Desktop-G56NOSG dated 6/24/2017.

    Other information; Key ID = FDD6ADB1

    Link id number is 857635

    This is for a Lenovo MIIX 320-101CR and nothing works without the BitLocker recovery number.

    I can not access by other login and even the F8 key is not working since it can't find the keyboard.

    Thanks,

    2. Did you ever setup BitLocker Recovery Key on your computer? Nope
    3. Are you not able to login to your Microsoft Account to find the BitLocker Recovery Key? Yes. I have a microsoft account and am able to login usually. But i am unable to login when I try to find the bitlocker recovery key.
    4. Are you using Windows 10 Home or Windows 10 Professional? Windows 10 Home

    When I on my laptop, there is a blue screen that asks me for bitlocker recovery key. I have tried asking my laptop company (Lenovo) and my institution both but no one has any answer to this. I have my bitlocker recovery ID number if that can help me find
    the recovery key.

    Waiting eagerly for a response.

    Thanks, and regards,

    Shweta
