 windows machines?

The bitlocker you are trying to recover, isn't likely to be recovered
soon... The use-case for JtR is likely the "BitLocker To Go" scenario,
where a user puts in a password to protect a Thumb Drive /USB Drive. I
believe BL keys are 48 digits, which is a LOT, even if the keyspace is 0-9.
You may be better served looking at M$'s site:
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/security/information-protection/bitlocker/bitlocker-recovery-guide-plan
Again if your drive is using TPM and or some Key you don't have a back up
of or access too... I don't think you'll crack 48 digits anytime soon.
At just 16 digits, that's a key space of 36587558241570175048828125000000,
and if you get let's say 6.8M hashes per second, times 86400 seconds in a
day...
36587558241570175048828125000000 / (6800000 * 86400)
equals... a lot. Your key is not likely 99999-99999-999999 etc... but even
brute-forcing at 16 pure digits at the speeds advertised on bitcracker
https://github.com/e-ago/bitcracker#performance makes it seem pretty slim.
You may want to contact that developer and see if they have any tips? They
helped create the format for JtR, I am not sure they are on the John User's
list.
