General Discussion • Re: Laptop locked by Bitlocker

Hi all,

I have sent shots of my boot screen and the screen depicted in the site that gives advice about my problem, in the attachment, below. Unlike the example I have no legacy boot. I am using a friend's computer at the moment. After I get back to my computer I will take a shot of my security screen and send that, too.

I have found advice that says if I choose and enter 'Change configuration' on security in my BIOS, I will be able to reboot my computer and it will be unlocked from Bitlocker.
advice given to select legacy boot which does not appear in my BIOS
However,

On my security screen, under 'security boot' I only have the following three options:
1. Erase all secure boot settings
2. Select an UEFI file as trusted for executing
3. Restore secure boot to factory default

Some questions, if I may:
1. How can I change configuration in my BIOS if I have no change configuration option and why can't I find 'change configuration' under secure boot?
2. Is restoring secure boot to factory default and restoring BIOS to factory settings the same thing?
3. One person bypassed Bitlocker by reseting 'security keys'. Does anyone know how to do this?

Any help would as always be greatly appreciated.
