Bitlocker recovery key was lost for windows 11

Greetings @Durga_Rao 

 

Welcome to the HP Forum.

 

I don't use BitLocker. In my situation, the negatives outweigh the positives.

 

I'm sorry to tell you the following; access to Windows and all data on the system drive are gone forever if you don't have the BitLocker recovery key.

 

Have you checked your Microsoft account to see if this key is available?

 

You will have to reinstall W11 if you don't have the recovery key.

 

You could try a HP Cloud Recovery if your PC qualifies.

 

Do a clean W11 Install if your PC can't do a cloud recovery.

 

Regards
