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.
No Events found!

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)?
