I have an LG gram laptop. For some reason today it opened to the bitlocker screen. I do not have any recollection of setting up bitlocker, nor do I have a key saved in my Microsoft account. The page is displaying a “recovery key ID” that it says can help identify my key, but I cannot figure out where to enter this to get my key.
I am also unclear on what will happen if I click “skip this drive”. Will that delete all my files or lock me out?

2024-07-30T19:17:07+00:00 Hi I had the same problem and this is how I got my recovery key. I also don’t remember ever making a bitlocker but here we are:
First I went to the link they displayed on my phone. Login with the email that is connected to your computer. Go to devices and click on the device you are locked out of. It never asked me for my ID I just picked my device and it displayed my recovery key.
Hope this helps!
