If you don't have the key, try the steps in the article.
Aside from that you could format and start fresh.

Windows 10 KB5058379 update triggers BitLocker recovery on some dev...
The Windows 10 KB5058379 cumulative update is triggering unexpected BitLocker recovery prompts on some devices afters it's installed and the computer restarted.
U sure it's not something that will hack my computer (i really dont want to take risk) if it's not a hacker ??
Bitlocker is Microsoft's drive encryption utility. I do not think it was caused by malware or a malcious actor.
So it's safe if I put the code or better to fresh it all ? (because I have confidential doc (gov))
If you have the bitlocker code, I highly suggest that route. There has been an updated patch.
I truly do not believe it was caused by anything malicious, but if its of the highest level of concern I would take it to your IT department.
However my friend (skilled in cybersecurity) told my the This website is not owned by Microsoft. I will send it to you
It's this one they gave https://aka.ms/myrecoverykey
I will not be able to see that, it will only show information specific to your account
I also would not show it here
Okay how can I contact you in private ?
If you dont mind ***
Do not send anyone your key
it will be a 48 digit key similar to this:
419595-387156-44334-315590-197472-399399-320562-361383
Okay thank you for telling me
I will check
Cool!!! Congratulations. I am very happy.🤣
aka.ms is microsofts domain
I dont think your friend knows as much about cyber security as you think
