Windows 10 home install without microsoft account

I'd love to know what my recovery key is, or password!, so I can decrypt the drive from within Fedora to mount it. When I boot the machine, I reach the Windows 10 login screen without entering any passwords to decrypt the drive (as I have to do when booting into my Fedora 31 partition, which is encrypted by LUKS): the only password I enter is for my local user account. I then installed Fedora 31, as one does, and was surprised to see that the main data partition is encrypted by BitLocker! I can't decrypt it with dislocker as I don't know how it was encrypted to begin with. I did not give the initial Windows 10 Home setup any wifi information so I could install Windows with a pure local user account-there is no Microsoft account on my computer.
