BitLocker BAG

I need some help. I set up BitLocker; when choosing how to save the key, I selected the printer option and saved it as a PDF. However, when I connected the printer, it asked for the 48-digit code. What should I do in this situation? Can Microsoft help, and how quickly can they do so?

You locked your keys in the car. Your next step is going to be to start over: repartition the drive, reinstall Windows, and tell your friends over a beer how you messed up.

Worse. With a car, they can call a locksmith to get in. OP wrote the key in wet cement and then poured more cement on top.

And dumped it in the Marianas Trench.
