    Hello Amornchai Chaichana , I am Henry and I want to share my insight about your issue.

    For most users, the BitLocker recovery key is automatically saved to their Microsoft account when the feature is first enabled.

    • On another device (like a phone or another computer), open a web browser and go to: https://account.microsoft.com/devices/recoverykey.
    • Sign in with the same Microsoft account that you use on the locked computer.
    • Once logged in, you should see a list of your devices. Match the Key ID shown on your computer's blue BitLocker screen with the one on the website to identify the correct recovery key.
    • User's image

    If you can log into Windows on the affected computer using another administrator account, you can retrieve the key using the Command Prompt.

    • Press the Windows key + X and select Command Prompt (Admin) or Windows PowerShell (Admin).
    • Type the following command and press Enter (replace "C:" with the letter of the encrypted drive): manage-bde -protectors -get C:
    • The command will display information about the drive's protectors. Your 48-digit recovery key will be listed next to "Numerical Password".

    I hope you’ll give my recommendation a try and let me know how it goes and if this answer helps, feel free to hit “Accept Answer” so others can benefit too.
