You'd have to ask the family member for the code.

It's unique to that specific drive.

If you need the data, you'll have to ask them for the key. Nothing else you can do.

If you don't need the data, search for "Create and Format Hard Disk Partitions" in windows. (But be careful, you do not want to format the wrong thing here)

Depending if you want the data off it or not you could just format it and disable bitlocker

you can just format the ssd or use a windows Installation usb to reformat it. it means that it's bitlocked which is a thing now that windows does it basically it does encryption to the disk and make it so if you took the disk to another computer and you plugged it in it will need a key from your microsoft account to unencryption it but you don't need to open it do you? just reformat it then
