I found an old work laptop. I don't have the password anymore so I tried resetting it by installing Windows 11 but it said it needed a BitLocker Recovery Key which I don't have. I googled and followed the advice in the link below to reformat my BitLocker partition and my BitLocker partition disappeared. I used DiskPart> Clean. Is there a way to get it back?
