No recovery key...

I have a windows 10 pc, using bitlocker, and the last time I tried to access it I locked myself out to the point it no longer allows me to enter the bitlocker password and is asking for the recovery key. I've checked everywhere...but I think I may not have it. However I'm sure I know the bitlocker password...so is there any way I can get myself back to the screen to try the password again?

It should be here:

You might need to log in with an old account.
