Bitlocker

Hello again, unfortunately there is no way to bypass the BitLocker recovery key when you want to unlock a BitLocker encrypted drive without a password,

However, you can reformat the drive to remove the encryption, which needs no password or recovery key.

"BitLocker drive encryption is a full-disk encryption method. Even if you formatted the drive and the encryption is removed, the erased data is still encrypted and needs a password to be decrypted; otherwise, the data you restored is just unintelligible text."

log into your microsoft account and search bitlocker, you need the long code to unlock the drive, if bitlocker was used on the previous machine then you need that code to unlock the data.

Hello, travis pencille

Welcome to Microsoft Community.

This is a recent known issue that manifests itself as BitLocker being accidentally launched after the update has finished, as well as the inability to get BitLocker through the Account Recovery interface.See the thread below for more details:

Assuming that the recovery key cannot be recovered through the above channels, I would recommend that you perform a fresh install, which will wipe all data from the hard disk and remove the BitLocker restrictions along the way. Unfortunately, we cannot help you rescue this data from encrypted BitLocker disk drives. If you are in the habit of backing up your data on a regular basis, you can consider recovering it from another location, to do a clean install of Windows via USB, see the following article.
