    How can I change a bitlocker startup key - bitlocker being used without a TPM - such that the old startup key(s) will no longer unlock the computer? (For example, if a startup key is lost). Is there a quicker method than completely decrypting the drive then re-encrypting it?

    Hi,

    To change the Bitlocker startup key, please try the following commends.

    manage-bde -protectors -delete C: -type externalkey
    manage-bde -protectors -add C: -startupkey <PathToExternalKeyDirectory>

    Manage-bde: protectors

    If you lost startup key, you can try BitLocker Repair Tool to recover a drive.

    However, if it doesn't work, a forgotten PIN or a lost startup key can render the volume permanently inaccessible. Therefore, I strongly recommend storing BitLocker recovery passwords in Active Directory to avoid data loss as a result of lost startup keys or forgotten PINs
