    Ive been locked out of my laptop by bitlocker, an encryption service I am 100% sure i didn't set up. I only have one ms account and never either printed out the key, or stored it on a USB as the ms support page suggests. How can i get access to my key, for this program which i never signed up for?
    I only bought the device recently, and as such haven’t performed any back ups as I didn’t expect an issue to arise so early. So because of this I have files which I can’t lose stored on my laptop which I can’t get any access to.
    Ive contacted Microsoft and they said the key may be stored in the motherboard, but the manufacturer said that isn’t the case.
    What can I do??
    Any help would be appreciated,
    Thanks.

    :)

  2. Laptop is locked using BitLocker and I dont remember the account i use there.

    My laptop is locked with BitLocker and to recover the key I need my account but I dont remember which one I use there.

    What can I do?

    And is there a way to get my email/account using cmd?

  3. BitLocker Save to USB Flash missing?


    Hi,

    I followed the step by step guide on what Brink wrote up below.
    https://www.tenforums.com/tutorials/3...-a.html?filter[1]=Security System Tools

    However, when turning ON BitLocker to encrypt the OS drive only, and ask me to where to save the recovery key, I get only the Save to File and not the Save to USB Flash. Has MS taken out the Save to USB selection since WIn 10 version 1511?

    I followed all the steps and left BitLocker to its default setting (except for encryption method).

    I was able to save the recovery key to a file which was my USB flash drive.
