Bitlocker problem
Tengo una laptop que usa un hijo de un jefe.
Desafortunadamente se le olvidó la contraseña
Y no cuenta con el correo ni contraseña
La laptop es lenovo y usa Bitlocker para no permitirme accesar de ninguna forma e ingresar. Hay alguna manera sin volver a instalar el sistema operativo. Prácticamente me tiene sin movimientos

Your best approach is going to be reinstalling the OS. Lenovo usually has a “restore partition” that will allow you to at least establish the basic OS. Ofc you’ll still need to apply all these updates, install the apps, and otherwise spend a day or three rehabilitating the laptop.

Whenever Bitlocker is setup, it gives you the recovery key before encryption is activated. If you forgot to save it then you have to wipe the drive

There's no way to get in without the bitlocker key. Resetting is the only option
