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?

    you should be able to resend the recovery key to the owners account because storage devices/pathways may fail. this is the case with my clients. you should only integrate a means of identifying the true owner before giving it back. Not getting the key at all is fraustrating
