So I recently purchased a dell latitude 5420 laptop from someone and it has bit locker on it. I’m having trouble trying to reset it and I cannot find the PTT security settings.
1 person also has this problem

Bitlocker is software -- if your drive is locked and you don't have the key, you need to wipe the drive and reinstall Windows.
PTT is a separate issue. Where was the system originally sold (bitlocker is export-banned or banned by local ordinance in much of the world)?
