We can't help, anything encrypted if you don't have the password or recovery key is impossible.

I know it's too late to help in this case, but that 48-digit recovery key was what COULD have been used to access the BitLocker-protected data. It's all numeric because that's just how BitLocker works. You COULD have supplied that numeric recovery key to access the BitLocker data.

So, you COULD have accessed the data, and then, if you wanted to, you could have changed the 48-digit recovery key using manage-bde.exe, which is well documented online and within Windows itself.

Just posting this to potentially help others.
