Insp 15 requesting bitlocker key after memory swap
I operate a computer services and repair shop. A customer brought a computer which had an issue with the memory running at 100% in Win10. As a routine, I ran our hardware test disk and found that one of the memory modules had failed one of the memory tests. For troubleshooting purposes, I swapped out both memory modules and retested. They both passed all memory tests now. When I went to boot into Windows, the Bitlocker recovery process had interrupted the booting. It is requesting a recovery key. The customer has no knowledge of enabling Bitlocker. The computer is using a Microsoft account as login. So I logged in using the account to see if the Bitlocker key would be in the online portal, but it is not. I contacted MS support and they claim that Bitlocker was enabled by the computer's manufacturer. Can anyone offer any suggestions for getting past this Bitlocker recovery process or for getting a recovery key?
