  1. Stuck asking for bit locker recovery key


    my pc suddenly restarted, then i couldn't open many apps, then later in the day, it asked for a bit locker recovery key, i got the key, i used it, then it failed to repair the pc, and just sent me right back to the same screen asking me for the key again, anything i can do on that page will end up sending me back to it and not fixing the problem, what's the issue? i don't think I'm doing anything wrong? so why is this happening? help please

    :)

  2. Bit Locker Recovery Key

    Hello Sylvia,

    Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.

    Please provide some additional information, so that we can assist you better.

    1. What is the error message appears when you’re trying to enter a Bit locker key?
    2. What is the version of Windows 10 you have installed?
    3. What is the make and model number of your computer?

    Issues might be happening because of entering Incorrect Bit Locker recovery key. Bit Locker key password will be a 48-digit alpha numeric characters.

  3. Bit Locker Recovery Key not accepting

    Hi,

    I am having a lenovo Ideapad Slim5 pro laptop with Windows 11 as the OS. A couple of days ago, after start up the laptop got stuck to the attached screen asking for the recovery Key. I have searched for it and found 2 Bit locker recovery keys after logging in with my microsoft credentials. But even after entering the keys one by one the problem didn't get solved. I am unable to land into the Windows screen and the screen is still stuck in the same screen.

    I have contacted the Lenovo support, they also did the same steps and suggested me to contact Microsoft support team.

    So, kindly extend your support to me in this situation so that I can start my Windows 11.

    Thanking you,

    With regards,

    Subir Kr. Saha

    Stuck asking for bit locker recovery key

    Bit Locker Key

    Daughter laptop requesting bit locker recovery key.

    She didn't change anything.

    But overnight, its now requesting this. So assume an update occurred, that impacted this.

    Ive checked our MS account and there no recovery keys there. He device is not even listed.

    Is there a workaround, or fix. Ive looked at the support notes, and don't have a print out of the key or usb stick etc..

    any help would be appreciated. As were stuck on the blue screen Bit locker screen.
