    My computer is asking for a Bitlocker Recovery key after i tried to power it up again following a shutdown without warning. So i logged on to my account to find the key, but i got this screen^ (photo above). This confused me because on the previous screen, it said i have Bitlocker turned on (picture below)



    How can i find the recovery key?

    What happens if i skip booting with the recovery key?
