I'm having a major issue trying to log into my laptop. Every time I try, BitLocker keeps popping up and I can't find a way to bypass it or reset my laptop completely. Honestly, I don't care about the data on it; I just want to get back to using my computer. Does anyone have any suggestions on what I can do?

You can recover your BitLocker key by logging into your Microsoft account. Just head over to https://account.microsoft.com/devices/recoverykey. If you can't find the key there, a good option is to create a Windows install USB on another computer to perform a clean install, which will wipe everything and let you start fresh.
Yep, using the Microsoft account is definitely the best approach. If that doesn’t work out, the clean install method is the next best option.
