I have an SSD that's locked with BitLocker and I don't know the password, so I decided to reinstall Windows.

The question is, can I recover the SSD data before reinstalling Windows?

no. Even if TRIM did not destroy the data, the deleted data is still encrypted. Formatting does not magically remove bitlocker encryption. Sorry to say, your data is gone
