Can't Access Bitlocker recovery key
I found a Dell Vostro 230 out by the dumpster. I plugged it in and it appears to work but it's asking for a Bitlocker recovery key, which I don't have. Is there anything I can do?

no because you are not the owner with the microsoft account that has the recovery key

You need Owner's Microsoft account credentials for the Key. So there is no way you can get it
Options 1 : Put it back where you found it, may be the owner will come back looking for it
Options 2 :WIPE out the machine (reinstall OS)
Option 3 : Not worth the efforts fixing a machine which probably has Core2Duo processor in it. You can get the same tower in less than 80$ on eBAY
