How to get Bitlocker recovery key using numerical password id?
Hi,
I have a serious problem on my laptop. Somehow managed to get my drive C locked with Bitlocker under following circumstances:
- C Drive is locked, unaccessible. Can't start windows, only command prompt reachable.
- When I type manage-bde -protectors -get c: , in return I get the numerical password ID and TPM ID. In order to unlock C, I do need the numerical password though, which is nowhere to be found.
- The bitlocker recovery key is NOT stored in my Microsoft account and it is not stored in Active Directory either.
- Is there any way to reach the bitlocker recovery key but using the numerical password ID or TPM ID?
Any help is appreciated.

manage-bde.exe -unlock {Drive-Letter}: -rp {Numerical-Recovery-Password}
See if it helps!
