Hi, Thank you for posting! When you enable Bitlocker, a recovery key is generated. Did you? You are given an option of printering or saving the key to a file or saving the key to a USB flash drive for use as a startup key for later recovery use. If you save the key, it is saved in plain text, so you should store the file or USB flash drive in a secure location. This recovery key is only used in situations where other validation methods fail, or if the key is the only unlock method (such as in a Startup key only configuration). If the recovery key is lost, I am sorry to say it can't be recovered. However, if you chose the TPM only configuratin that mean you did not get any recovery key when turnning on Bitlocker, you might recover it by reinstalling Windows 7 and turn off Bitlocker.
