Windows 10: Lost bitlocker recovery key

Bitlocker got activated when i updated my windows. Unfortunatley, I don't have access anymore to the email i used to register to my microsoft account. I updated my security info for alternate email but it will take 30 days. The computer was already reformatted and the files were preserved, however i cannot access the files. Need help in recovering the file from the hard drive.
