Like many others, disabling BitLocker in BIOS didn't work because as soon as you reboot, the system / Windows requires your Key to decrypt your drive. It makes absolutely no sense that you could simply disable encryption without decrypting the drive! For this to work for others, bitlocker must not have actually encrypted the drive in the first place. What's weird is how it could have worked for anyone.

@DashboardSymbols 2 жыл бұрын

You're logic is sound, but do try again, making sure its actually disabled. There's logic there too (it's just a different path to the data). What brand machine??

For those of you since May or June of 2022 saying it does not work for you try retyping in the command prompt and see my response to somebody else right here : It is possible you typed something incorrectly but do the command prompt option again. This response is as of July 10th 2022 on a Windows 10 machine. It may not look exactly like his screen but it is under the line that says password. Mine comes out saying volume C then the line under that it says all key protectors then numerical password then ID then password I did that and it worked

Here's another scenario with bitlocker. My Windows 10 laptop crashed and wouldn't boot up. I kept being asked for the bitlocker key for every repair scenario and I actually have the key so I typed it in and it didn't work. I did some sleuthing and discovered that if the bitlocker file on the hard drive is also corrupted, the key is useless. My next move is creating a bootable disk and hoping I can restore my laptop that way. I bought a new laptop and immediately removed the encryption.

UPDATE: I recover my key (I didn't know I have it) from the disk with Dell recovery assistant support. Step 1: On the "advanced options" I clicked System Image Recovery (I was decided to restart my PC trying to make a backup in the process). Step 2: Go to buttom "Back" Step 3: Click on the option "Create a backcup from data" (or something like that. Is the option in the left bottom.) Its going to ask for the key and for your MS account (IN MY CASE I dont have an MS account) so the Dell support assistance saved my local account and give me the chance to use. I just scrolled to the bottom and click the account "CMARTINEZ" (Was my PC name). Just showed the key. Step 4: Take a picture and re-start again to the windows blue screen (shut down the PC) Step 5: On the first Bitlocker screen press "ESC" and go to the second bitlocker screen. Step 6: Write the key. (Didn't work on the first screen for me) Hope this help somebody.

First, it should be known that this was intended only for enterprise users. Problems were triggered by a pair of Windows updates that locked machines that never had a recovery key.

There is no magic here. The "first fix" that shows the command line screen shot is from a PC where the user is logged into the OS and the drive is decrypted. For everyone whose drive is encrypted, booting to recovery mode and opening a command window isn't going to magically give you the all numeric recovery key. The 'second fix' which is to disable secure boot isn't going to work if the drive has already been encrypted. There is no magic fix to get around a bitlocker encrypted drive when you don't have the key.
