    I’m locked out with bitlocker and have no key.


    I’m locked out with bitlocker and have no key. The troubleshooting asked me to rebuild the BCD so I enetered the code, “boot rec/rebuildbcd” and it scanned and found 0 windows installations. I know windows is installed on my PC but I cannot get past the bitLock Screen. Further, I have tried restarting after entering the code and I have tried resetting the PC. Nothing Is working.

    Bitlocker frequently locking computers

    Thanks for your reply. Unfortunately these suggestions don't really fit our needs. We want to use BitLocker and don't want to disable it. The problem we have is that it locks some of our computers from time to time. Ideally we will make use of BitLocker but not have it blocking our computers.

    I have tried:

    1. Turning off BitLocker
    2. Installing all Driver and Windows Updates
    3. Turning BitLocker back on again
    Maybe this will help. We will wait and see.

    BitLocker recovery key

    My computer is locked by BitLocker and the recovery key is not showing in the Microsoft account (the device is listed). How can I generate/retrieve the key (I don't have it stored anywhere)?
