Windows 10: No Administrator and No Bitlocker code

Hi everyone, The administrator account on my Dell Inspiron 14 2in1 has disappeared. I only have a standard user account. I have tried many things that I have found around the internet, but I can't seem to find a way. Some of the things I have tried are the following. I also don't have my BitLocker Drive Encryption key, I probably printed it out and then recycled it at some point. I also have some data stored in applications that I need, but can't get access to for some reason, as it brings a UAC prompt. I have also upgraded the memory from 8GB to 16GB. 1.

Need to turn off Bitlocker to install Windows 10

Hi,

We suggest doing the following steps again to resolve the issue. To complete the procedure, make sure that you have the following information:

• You must be able to provide administrative credentials.
• The drive must be BitLocker-protected.

To suspend BitLocker Drive Encryption on an operating system drive, please follow the steps below:

• Click Start, click Control Panel, click
  System and Security, and then click BitLocker Drive Encryption.
• Click Suspend Protection for the operating system drive.
• A message is displayed, informing you that your data will not be protected while BitLocker is suspended and asking if you want to suspend BitLocker Drive Encryption.
  
• Click Yes to continue and suspend BitLocker on the drive.

Let us know how it goes.

 

Bitlocker Questions

Thanks. I am going to now do step 7 which will take a while to encrypt.

- - - Updated - - -

I skipped step 1 and just stick with the default 128 bit security like I did previously.


Did step 4.


Now when I do step 6... which tells me to do step 7, 8 or 9 which is essentially the same step of turning on bit locker...


I get this message


This pc requires a startup option that isn't supported by bitlocker setup. Please contact your system administrator to turn on bitlocker.


Why do I have this message?

Does this message has something to do with my user accounts or something?


I see in user accounts


My name
local account
Administrator


I checked online that in user account, an account is either a local account or administrator. But mine is both or is it local account?


So why can I not turn bitlocker on?

- - - Updated - - -

So I tried the 3 different ways to get to the local C drive. In the first way of just going to my pc and then going to local disk c drive and then right click on turn bitlocker on... i get that message i mentioned above.


Now when i just type go to start menu and type i bitlocker, it shows manage bitlocker so i click on that...


It shows c drive: bitlocker off... next to it is Turn bitlocker on and when click on it... same message


Below it does show the words


Fixed data drives


Removable data drives - Bitlocker to go
Insert a removable usb flash drive to use bitlocker on the go



What mistake am I making here? Is it an admin thing or is it something else? You mentioned in step 4, to make every allow to REQUIRE... so im not sure why im getting this message?
