I LOSE BIT LOCKER PASSWORD
Hi,
I loss bit locker password on Dell i-5 laptop, and I also made fresh installation of windows 8. I also loss backup file of BitLocker Recovery Key.
I contain many personal data i.e family pics, movies, and official data. So please help me that I open my drive and recover my data.
Waiting for favorable Help.
I'm afraid .. Things will not get going well if you have lost recovery key + password..You have to export it while you are turning
bitlocker on.. If the key and the password is lost, no recovery
I suggest you to type the passwords as you can remember.. and try commonly used passwords by you..
"LOST
bitlocker key?? Can you believe that its the time to reinstall your os again??. Painful but this is true.. If you loose the key there is no way,other than formatting and reinstalling os.. That is why you really really need to keep the key in a safe place"

Unfortunately if you lose the password and the recovery key you are not able to decrypt and access the information, that is the sole purpose of BitLocker.

Hi,
I have to tell you that you cannot decrypt the drive without recovery password or recovery key unless you format this dirve, which may lead to personal data lost.

If the drive was both formatted and bit locked you cannot recover your data.

how to solve these. help me
Hi，
If you lost recovery key and are unable to access the disk at this moment, then I'm sorry but I have to say that you're lost. If the data in that encrypted drive is very important for you, then you might need a data recovery center to help you.

sorry for unrelated description.Hi ,
I am afraid that we cannot get the data back if the drive has been formatted even if use the
BitLocker Repair Tool.
You’d better contact your local data recovery center to try to get data back.

HI.
I would like to find out what would happen if I were to user the bit-locker to encrypt my drive and all it files but at the same time ,the files that's in my one-drive are synced with 365 and shared among many other users.
When they open their one drive will the file I updated be encrypted forcing them to enter a decryption password as well.
thanksno
The file encryption is part of the filesystem. When the file is transferred it is sent unencrypted.

Bit locker security issues (easy to crack) disk encryption?
Bit locker security issues (easy to crack) disk encryption?
Problem 1: When the PC run I think its too easy to get malicious users (with usb pendrive) or spyware to get the encryption key (fast and easy)
youtube.com/watch?v=0npTlOq6q_0
Problem2:not resistant with bruteforce attacks
youtube.com/watch?v=zvaJxnvbGic
Problem 3: not resistant with boot hacking
Im using DriveCrypt plus pack and searched security issues in bit locker.The bit locker allow you the bruteforce/dic attack easy.I think It would be much safer 1. (I think the keys stored somewhere that is easily read) 2. Do not just be enough password
need a password+file combination to decrypt the disk. DriveCrypt plus pack use a file+password combination if you know the password but you wont have the file you can not decrypt the disk (protect with bruteforce attack).On system boot protected bruteforce
attak you can crash the (boot).If the boot system crash you can not decrypt the disk just the password you need the file+password combination plus to decrypt it. I am not a programmer but I see the BitLocker ( easy security catches to crack the disk encryption).Im
tested DriveCrypt and I can not get the key that easy (Problem 1). I have not tested it in greater depth just trying to (catches to crack software encryption).Where is your question, sir?
If the question were "is it easy to crack", the answer is "no". Your videos make use of several assumptions and ingredients and permissions that a normal attacker does not have.
"Problem 3" is not clear, please describe what scenario you are talking about. -
BIT Locker Key is not working in a first attempt.
I have enabled bit locker key for my system. when I restart the system it will ask for bit locker and like how many time I enter the password it won't work and says wrong key. My friend suggested a temporary solution which is working. I have remove
keyboard before booting. after booting I have to plugin the keyboard and now the bit locker key works. I am not able find the problem. Please help.
OS : Windows 7 enterprise edition 32bit
Mallik KHi,
What's the type of your computer? Desktop or Laptop? Have you tried to use other keyboard to test this problem.
As In my opinion, Since it shows password input error, it should not Bitlocker encrypt problem. Maybe system couldn't identify the character you typed, maybe it is keyboard or its driver problem. It would be better to change another keyboard to check this
problem for test.

Windows 8: Bit Locker encrypted drive "Access Denied" external drive
I rebuilt my computer and installed win 8.1 pro. Now my external drive comes up as an empty drive with "Access denied". Here is the kicker: I had turned off bitlocker on the external drive long ago as it interfered with automated backups.
Running the commands suggested here:
https://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/windows/en-US/738c1760-c96d-430f-9ae6-1f28f5c60998/windows-8-bit-locker-encrypted-drive-not-found-or-access-denied?forum=w8itprosecurity it shows the bitlocker but as unlocked. Drive still shows empty.
Any suggestions?
Thanks,
MarkusAhh, turns out to be permission issue not bitlocker (or maybe bitlocker caused it to lose permissions, don't know).
Opened MyPc, right click on drive ->properties->security->advanced and selected apply to all.

Windows 8: Bit Locker encrypted drive "Not Found" or "Access Denied"
I just upgraded my Windows 7 Ultimate to Windows 8 Pro. C drive is not Bit locker protected, but D drive is. When I go to Computer and double click on D drive, it tells me one of two errors: 1) Application Not Found (more common), or 2) Access is Denied
(less common).
I thought maybe Bit locker wasn't working, but I plugged in my USB stick that is encrypted and had no issues; it asked for the password and opened the folder.
One thing I did earlier was to setup a new local account, give it administrator password, then delete the other account that I had originally used in Win7 (and in installing Win8). Maybe this caused some sort of security problem.
Please help.
Thanks.I have been using Bitlocker since it was available with Vista Ultimate. I have had the same password to unlock my drive for 5 years. I NEVER keep my recovery key this drive. but just last month i copied all my data to another drive formatted
it to freshen it up and copied it back over. For some reason i kept the recovery key TXT file.... when i tried your method here due to the same exact problem listed the command prompt would not allow me to enter a password in CMD or powershell. Since
i had the recovery key .. THANK GOODNESS it unlocked perfectly and i was able to retrieve my 6 years of Data. So yes, this works and works well. thank You! -
Pre-Provisioning Bit Locker in MDT 2012 SP1 while using MBAM 2.5 - No Pin Required
Does anyone have some step by step instructions for Pre-Provisioning Bit Locker. Through task sequences, we are currently able to bit locker the computers but it's the last set of tasks. I would like to Bit Locker the computer while no data is on the
disc so it's faster and then as its imaging, the files are already encrypted.
Currently:
Creates BIOS Password
TPM turned on and enabled (using CCTK)
Remove Password
Registry changes
Installing MBAM 2.5
Removing Registry Entries
Any help would be appreciated!
Thanks
RickBitlocker Pre-Provisioning is available by default on MDT Litetouch...
If you just want to pre-provision the drive without letting MDT LiteTouch enable any protectors (let MBAM do that) then just run the following command after the "FOrmat and PArtition" step in the Task Sequence:
x:\windows\system32\Manage-BDE.exe c: -used
(OR whatever drive letter OS exists on in WinPE)
AS an alternative, I would add a step just before the "ENable Bitlocker (offline)" step in the task sequence:
BDEInstallSuppress=NO
isBDE=YES
then after the "Enable Bitlocker (offline)" step in the Task Sequence, I would set the following:
isBDE=NO
