My bitlocker password got lost and unable to access. i tried through many ways to generate the recovery key and it didnt work. Mt laptop is Dell and they set the D drive bitlocker at the time of purchase and I dont have any idea. I formated the C drive and now unable to access my D drive. Seeking all your kind support to solve this.

If the Bitlocker recovery key is not listed in https://myaccount.microsoft.com/device-list (Check all your Microsoft accounts to be sure) or in portal.azure.com/devices (if your device is joined to Azure) and you didn't save it to usb or print it.. Then you're out of luck I'm afraid...

@jabbarsh I have the same problem and there's nothing anyone can do - looks like I have a useless laptop. Ironically, the device is still sitting my Microsoft online account from when I first purchased it, but there's no Bitlocker recovery key. I thought it was meant to be an automatic thing, once you register your device and it's in your online account you should have the recovery key. so annoying. Oh well, here's a good excuse for a new laptop I suppose.

@Harm_Veenstra thanks it's not in my Microsoft Account even though the device is listed in my account so that's very strange. I guess I'll have to learn how to wipe it then. thanks.
