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.

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.

I have a question. When I installed my windows I never turned on bitlocker, it remained off ever since I first booted up the windows up to this day. My question is, if (by some stroke of sheer misfortune) the bitlocker activates itself after an update will it prompt me for a key that I never knew? Should I turn it on and see if I can get a key off it, or keep it off?

@DashboardSymbols

Жыл бұрын

Personally, I would keep it off. In fact, I'd recommend watching the last minute or so of the vid to be sure its truly off! This latest round of views (big jump) was caused by a Win 11 update. Don't take any chances. One other thing you might do. Get a key, and THEN turn it off! In case an update can turn it on!!

Unfortunately, I tried doing this with secure boot both enabled and disabled, and it failed both ways. Has anyone else had trouble?

That's exactly what happened to me in the first part of the vid. The second part should give an opportunity to simply bypass the security protocol...

This was great for me except for one thing. When I used the command prompt and the BDE, all it showed was the numerical password, and not the Bitlocker password. I have tried multiple times to enter the key found in my Microsoft account information for this laptop. However, when I tried to use it in the recovery process, it is not recognized as vaild. Any ideas?

Well, I see that you noted a Numerical Password, which is what I saw as well. However, if what you actually got was numbers only, that's what you want! Otherwise getting into the BIOS is the only way I am aware of to complete a bypass. The fact that you actually HAVE a a key in your MS account suggests a deeper problem that I am unfamiliar with...

Hi, I much appreciate your support. However, non of the both ways did work. When I did the command way I did not get the numerical key. Disable option Siri to work also. Is there any other ways please.
