How to find bitlocker recovery key with recovery key ID

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?

    Maybe a Congressional inquiry should be filed to get MS get its acts together to solve this problem!!

    How about filing BBB complaints with the FCC and the FTC should get involved

    I followed the instruction, which led to no where. This site says I "don't have any Bitlocker". 

    But I do, because I received the key and Key ID number when I activated my LG-Gram on 11/15/2022. 

    Now, I don't know what to do, since there is no provision in this site as to where I should post the "Key ID" that I have to retrieve my "Bitlocker".

    My Bitlocker number is not accepted by my LG Gram laptop since its screen suddenly went blue and asked for Billocker.   And it did provided me with the "key ID" that I don't know what to do with.

    Please make sure the site's page includes a block where to post the KEY ID, or the instruction is useless for all users and stop this problem.

    Am I being victimized as to RANSOMWEAR??

    Thank you,

    Al
