Windows 10: Recovering my disabled laptop's bit blocker key

I have logged in to my account to try to obtain my bit blocker key. The email address listed online is wrong. When I attempt to change it, it doesn't allow me to do so. It only acts as a link to a place where I have an opportunity to enter the correct Microsoft account email I had set up. When I enter the correct email address, access is denied. How do I retrieve my blocker key to access my other disabled laptop?

Recover Bit Locker key to login through BIOS

Hi
AbhishekEllangi,



Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.



We can imagine how difficult it could be. However, we would need some more information regarding the issue.

1. Are you not able login to your computer due to BitLocker Recovery Key?
2. Did you ever setup BitLocker Recovery Key on your computer?
3. Are you using Windows 10 Home or Windows 10 Professional?

I would suggest you to follow these methods and check if that helps.



Method 1: Find the Bit locker key.

I would suggest you to search for the Bit locker key, please refer the Microsoft article on
Find my BitLocker recovery key.Once
you have found the key, try to login and check.



Method 2: Enable Secure Boot.

It might be that the Secure Boot has been disabled and some BIOS updates have caused this to happen, so follow the below steps and toggle the UEFI Secure Boot in BIOS.



NOTE: Modifying BIOS/ complementary metal oxide semiconductor (CMOS) settings incorrectly can cause serious problems that may prevent your computer from booting properly. Microsoft
cannot guarantee that any problems resulting from the configuring of BIOS/CMOS settings can be solved. Modifications of the settings are at your own risk.

1. 1. Power the device off and then back on.
      
   2. Look for a message on the boot screen just before or after the manufacturer logo appears. You may need to press the “F1”,”F2”, or ”Delete” button, whatever key is indicated on the boot screen to enter BIOS
      Settings.
      
   3. Inside BIOS, look for a tab called BOOT and select that page.
      
      1. Depending on the BIOS manufacturer this page could be BOOT, ADVANCED, STARTUP, etc.
         
   4. Look for a setting for UEFI Secure Boot.
      
      1. Each BIOS could have a different name for this. These are the keywords to look for: UEFI, Secure Boot, Legacy Boot
         
   5. Toggle the Secure Boot setting to enable and attempt to boot the machine.

Possible solutions:

2. Setup an exception for MSN in the ad blocker

3. Wait a while to see if MSN changes something and the message stops

Disabling laptop keyboard

Hi,

Thank you for posting your query in Microsoft Community.

As per the description. Let me help you in resolving the issue.

I suggest you follow the steps below and check if that helps:

• Press Windows + X and select
  Device Manager from the list.
• Find Keyboards in the list of devices and click the arrow to expand it.
  
• Right-click on the internal keyboard and click Disable. If there is no Disable option listed, click
  Uninstall.
• Click File>Exit. Your laptop’s internal keyboard should now be disabled.

Note: If you had to choose Uninstall instead of Disable in step 4, the keyboard will be automatically detected and re-installed if you ever have the Device Manager scan for new hardware for some reason. If that happens you’ll need to repeat this procedure
in order to uninstall it again.

Hope the information helps. Please let us know if the issue persist and we will be happy to assist you further.
