Hello @ycsobimgmailcom113,

 

First you should confirm the current BitLocker status. If she could access Command Prompt, use the command manage-bde -status to confirm protection status.

 

If the protection status is on, try to locate the BitLocker recovery key using this support article:

Hope this helps!
