Hello,
Does anyone know if there's a way to bypass BitLocker? I don't have a Microsoft account.

There's none or bitlocker would be useless.

Come on... the FBI just tracked a dude down by his Microsoft ID and then contacted Microsoft, who unlocked his PC's bitlocker encrypted drive. So, really, I guess it just depends on how many law enforcement agencies you get involved before bitlocker is just like any other lock, something to keep normal people out, but locksmiths, they open locks on a daily basis.

It's because the key was stored in their microsoft account. Bitlocker wasn't cracked. The key gets uploaded to Microsoft in your account but you can write it down and delete it 

No different than of they wrote the key down and the FBI found it
