Question swapped out a palmtop and it triggered bitlocker

[berbes]

dell inspiron 7773 with a dying KB, so we swapped out a different keyboard and now bitlocker is asking for the key. of course, no one knows it. if i put the guts back onto the original KB/palmtop, will it boot normal again, so i can disable bitlocker or find the key? i'm worried that once triggered, it will not reset itself without those 48 digits.



THANKS!

If you put it back together so it works, you should be able to save the BL key out to a flashdrive and/or Microsoft account.
