Windows 10: Mysterious BitLocker recovery key: couldn't find it anywhere, how to regain access to my...

HELP!I bought Lenovo Yoga last year. It came with pre-installed Windows 10.3 days ago when I updated my touchpad driver and restarted my PC and all of a sudden I was asked to provide a BitLocker recovery key. I didn't know that this feature was enabled. As I found out later on Yoga series it is automatically enabled.I tried to find this key but none of the options listed here didn't work for me: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/finding-your-bitlocker-recovery-key-in-windows-10-6b71ad27-0b89-ea08-f143-056f5ab347d6. On my Microsoft account, it says "You don't have any BitLocker recove

Bitlocker recovery key

After Windows 10 update I keep getting a Bitlocker recovery key screen but I know that I had never turned Bitlocker on.

I have another problem because I forgot my Microsoft Account password so I wanted to do a reset to get access to the Bitlocker recovery key but no effect. Thus, I don’t have any access to my PC and the account security update requires 30 days.

How can I skip this 30 day period and regain access to my PC?
