To retrieve your BitLocker recovery key when you cannot access your Microsoft account, you can try the following steps:
- Access Recovery Keys via Microsoft Account: If you are able to regain access to your Microsoft account, you can find your BitLocker recovery keys by visiting
https://myaccount.microsoft.com. Under the Devices tab, select your Windows device and choose the option View BitLocker Keys. - Contact Support: If you are unable to access your account due to verification issues (like not receiving the verification code), consider reaching out to Microsoft Support for assistance. They may be able to help you recover your account or provide alternative methods to access your recovery key.
- Check Other Locations: If you have previously saved your recovery key in other locations (like a USB drive, printed copy, or saved in Active Directory), check those as well.
- Helpdesk Assistance: If your device is managed by an organization, contact your IT helpdesk. They may have procedures in place to retrieve recovery information securely.
- Recovery Key ID: The recovery key ID you provided (06FA5A35-D784-479C-B04C-4E6FB6CF7D77) can be useful when contacting support, as it helps them identify the specific recovery key associated with your device.
If you still cannot access your recovery key after trying these steps, you may need to consider resetting your Microsoft account security information or seeking further assistance from Microsoft support.
