Bitlockers Recovery Password, where is it stored?

I wonder where the Recovery Password (48-digits) is stored when using Bitlocker :
1. With TPM+Pin ?
2. Without TPM but with Startup Key ?
I wonder because this video tells me that they can recover the Recovery Password using a memorydump+diskdump, but only
when not using TPM.

I thought Recovery Password were encrypted too, with AES which I don't think someone can "crack".

Hi,
Bitlocker Recovery Key is used for Bitlocker Recovery when the password you set has been forgotten.

Please refer to the article below.

Hi Juke,
I know what the Recovery Password is, I still wonder where the Recovery Password (48-digits) is stored when using Bitlocker :
1. With TPM+Pin ?
2. Without TPM but with Startup Key ?

Hi,
The Bitlocker wizard will ask where you want to save the recovery key. If you are in a Domain environment, the Domain admin can choose whether to save the recovery key into AD database.
