Trouble with ptt settings

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.

    Hi

    Hope this helps..........

    Access BIOS:
    Restart your laptop and press F2 during startup to enter the BIOS setup.
    Navigate to Security Settings:

    In the BIOS menu, go to the Security section.
    Disable PTT:

    Locate the PTT Security option.
    If PTT is enabled, disable it. Only one security technology (PTT or TPM) can be active at a time12.

    Enable TPM (if needed):
    After disabling PTT, enable TPM 2.0 Security.
    Ensure that TPM is set to Enabled and Activated.

    Disable Secure Boot (if required):
    If Secure Boot is enabled, disable it temporarily to make changes to PTT or TPM settings.

    Save Changes and Exit:

    Save your changes and exit the BIOS setup.
    Reboot System:

    Restart your laptop for the changes to take effect.

    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)?
