Hi

Step 1 is to get your 48 number Bitlocker key from somewhere, like your MS account, and write it down.

Step 2 is to assume there is a storage problem and make more backups.

Step 3 is to give us lots more details about the system and your situation.

I ran into the same issue with BitLocker recovery screens appearing unexpectedly on Dell laptops. In my case, it happened after BIOS updates and sometimes when switching hardware. The recovery key from my Microsoft account saved me, but I also learned to back it up elsewhere. Keeping firmware updated and documenting recovery keys has been the only consistent safeguard.
