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?

Locked Question. This question was migrated from the Microsoft Support Community. You can vote on whether it's helpful, but you can't add comments or replies or follow the question.
No, the Recovery Key ID is not used to recover the recovery key. The Recovery Key ID is a unique identifier that is associated with a specific recovery key. It is used to help identify which recovery key is associated with a particular device.
If the manufacturer can't help you, and you can't find your bitlocker recovery key, I recommend you try to contact Microsoft support (Global Customer Service phone numbers - Microsoft Support) for assistant.
