Can’t get past the bitlocker recovery screen

[Mel777]

Can anyone help?  My screen is blue and says bitlocker recovery.  I try to follow the directions (entering the very long recovery key ID.) but it won’t accept the letters only numbers.  
ive also tried to bypass it from directions on YouTube but didn’t work.

Any help would be appreciated! 
Thanks!

Thank you for posting on HP Support Community.

Don't worry as I'll be glad to help, I have a few troubleshooting steps we could try to fix the issue:  

I appreciate your efforts to try and resolve the issue. I would suggest performing system factory reset will put the computer back to the original factory settings in this way all corrupted and outdated software will be removed. 

While doing the recovery there is an option to backup your personal files. If you have not previously done one now is a good time. 

Restoring Files that were Backed Up Using HP Recovery Manager (Windows )You can also contact HP support for assistance. They can remotely access your system to help alleviate difficulties: www.hp.com/contacthp/

The HP Cloud Recovery Tool allows you to download recovery software to a USB drive. You can use the downloaded recovery image file in order to install the Windows operating system.
