  1. Bitlocker recovery key glitch - finding solutions with third-party apps to decrypt?


    I have a Lenovo Slim Pro laptop and after an automatic update it's requesting me a Bitlocker Recovery Key that was never generated nor linked to any of my Microsoft Accounts. Forums suggest that the only option is to do a clean install and lose all data, but this is unacceptable if the problem originates from a glitch from Microsoft!Is any of the third-party apps reliable to decrypt the bitlocker key and recover the data? Are they safe to download/buy and try? Do they actually work for this issue specifically? Please share your thoughts. https://www.isumsoft.com/bkeyfixer/https://www.blrtools.

    Bitlocker Stuck Decrypting

    @rinconmike For future reference, instead of using the TASK MANAGER to restart, you can simply hold CTRL + SHIFT and right click on blank space on the Task bar, to bring up 'Exit Explorer'. Another option is to use software.

    Bitlocker recovery key glitch - finding solutions with third-party apps to decrypt?

    In-place decryption of a BitLocker file system from a recovery CD

    The key is not kept on the disk being encrypted for security reasons. And you can easily turn off BitLocker on a drive from within Window by going to Control Panel, BitLocker, Turn Off BitLocker.

    Outside that, if you've lost the BitLocker key, you'll most likely have to format (wipe) the drive. Been there, done that. I lost the BitLocker key to one of my drives and in even trying to use the recovery disk, I was still asked for the BitLocker key. Not having said key forced me to reformat the drive. BTW Microsoft won't help in finding lot BitLocker keys... again, security.

    As for third party utilities hacking into the encryption scheme, I'm sure they're out there, but they aren't available to just anyone.

    Good luck.
