Can't login to windows account
my pc is set to login without asking for a password.
when i switched on a couple of days ago it asked for my password
upon trying to enter my password i could not type any letters but i could type numbers - weird
after several attempts it asked me to type in a code to continue
the code was A1B2C3 and l could enter all of lt wlth no problem
l am not a computer noob and can usualy solve problems myself, which l have been trying to do for the last 3 days.
restart holding shift down gets me to the diagnostics screen
troubleshoot - advanced options - command prompt -
this is where i find out bitlocker has locked my c drive
searching the net l have tried numerous suggestions, all to no avail lncluding the work-aroud from mlcrosoft of disabling TXT ln the BIOS, which i couldn't find anywhere
every thing i try ends up wanting the bitlocker recovery key
PC is a Dell Inspiron 16 plus 7640 windows 11
any suggestions or help would be greatly appreciated

The system detects some security issues and you can try to unlock it using a BitLocker recovery key
