Can't find my disk after diskpart clean

I have a PC with an SSD encrypted with BitLocker, I forgot the Admin password, and lost my BitLocker recovery key. I decided to reinstall Windows and wipe the SSD, but the Windows installer couldn’t find my disk on the list, so I used diskpart, following an article:

diskpart  list disk  select disk 0  clean
  • After clean, I didn’t execute the last command to create a new partition; when I closed Cmd and booted the installer, my disk does not appear during the wipe step or in diskpart [list disk]

It is an SSD drive, the PC is a Lenovo Ideapad 3. Unfortunately the PC does not detect it in Windows setup. I want to avoid removing the drive to plug it to a SSD rack and connect it to another PC.
