Bit locker issue

Hi Everybody,
When I were encrypting my external drive I disconnect cable before it finished encrypting the data. Now when I tried to open it again it ask for password or recovery key and  when I enter them return "password entered incorrect".
Any suggestion?!
Thanks.

Hi,
This message gives the clear information that the password is not the one you set when encrypting the disk, besides, I want to know where did you put the recovery key?  in your situation, you should unlock the disk with the recovery key generated when
you encrypt the drive, the way is below:
Right click at the drive and select “unlock drive” then choose “more option”, then input the 48-digit recovery key to unlock this drive, just like the screenshot below:

    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 encryption requests key unless I suspend and resume the encryption

    I am rolling out new computers with Windows 7 Enterprise OS on them.  I am installing bit locker encryption on them.  For some reason with this group of computers, and I recently rolled out a different batch of computers without this problem,
    after encrypting, I must suspend and resume bit locker or upon restart of shutdown and start the user is prompted for the bit locker encryption key.

    Hi,
    Could you please tell some more details about the issue? What do you want to achieve here? To enable bitlocker without the prompt of the startup key? If it is , then please take a check if we have  Require
    additional authentication at startup  policy enabled.
    Besides, could you please have a share for how do you enable bitlocker?
    And here is a guide for bitlocker in Windows 7, just for reference:

  • Bit Locker key missing after OU Move

    We are seeing an issue where the keys for Bit Locker seem to be gone when we move objects from one OU to another. Is this something that one would expect? is there a common explanation or should we engage MS Support? thanks!

    Hi Anthony,
    If you delete a computer object from AD, you will also delete the BitLocker Recovery Information which is a child object.
    To restore the deleted computer object, you will have to use AD Restore Mode to retrieve the object.
    Also please use this script to find your Bitlocker key:

  • 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,
    Markus

    Ahh, 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!

  • Bit locker Mutliple Drives Mutliple OS's

    I have a laptop with two hard drive in it.  The primary has Windows 7 Enterprise and is a member of the corporate domain.  The secondary has Server 2008 R2 and is a member of the lab domain.  There is no trust or association between domain. 
    The laptop does the Windows multi-boot off the primary drive.  I want to enable bit locker to secure the drives.
    If the two windows environments were exclusively separate, setting up bit locker on each drive independently would be pretty straight forward, but when I'm in one OS, I will frequently need to get files and data from the other drive (and no, making each
    drive big enough to hold all it's own data is not an option, plus the synchronization headache).  Both drives will need to be bit locked to their respective OS, but the other drive will need to be accessible.
    And not to make things too easy, the secondary drive, which i put in an optical drive bay carrier, routinely gets pulled (not while the system is running, of course) out and popped into a USB case to be used as a library transfer drive. 
    So....
    the Windows 7 drive needs to be natively bit locked.  and be accessible when running Windows 2008 from the second drive.
    the Windows 2008 R2 drive needs to be natively bit locked, and be accessible when running Windows 7 from the first drive, and be accessible when run as a stand-alone USB drive on another system.
    I would appreciate any wisdom you can share to make this all work.  And please presume that i know next to nothing about installing and running bit locker, because that's pretty much true.
    Let me know if you need more information about my configuration.
    Thanks

    Hi,
    "and be accessible when run as a stand-alone USB drive on another system."
    Firstly, if you enable bitlocker for one drive, it will be encrypted always until you decrypt it. Thus after you insert it to any system, it need to enter the credential to access it.
    And then, if you want to access one drive in another computer, you need to get the shared permission. After you' re granted the sufficient permission, you could access it no matter if it's encrypted. Of course, another computer must be started.

  • 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"

  • Problem with recovering data from Bit Locker enabled hard disk with bad sectors

    Hi,
    I have Lenovo T430 laptop with Windows 7 and Bit Locker enabled hard disk. While working I encountered blue screen error multiple times. After some time, the laptop stopped to boot by itself and started showing error 'A disk read write error has occurred.
    Press Ctrl+Alt+Del to restart' message. I tried to connect the hard disk to a different PC as a secondary drive and tried to check the disk to recover the data. The 500 GB disk is showing as unallocated space and I am not sure how to recover the
    data from the hard disk. Appreciate your help to recover the data from corrupted hard disk.
    I used the Lenovo Diagnostics tools available in BIOS and it showed 48 bad sector errors on the hard disk. I also used Windows 7 CD and tried auto repair but it looks like it didn't do anything.
    Thanks in advance!

    Hi  SenneVL,
    Since there are 48 bad sectors on your hard disk, this means the system can not boot any more, the data might not be restored in a normal way, you'd better turn to data restore company for help.

    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.

  • Report Designer Locking issue

    Hi,
       We have found locking issue while accessing same report(Created in Report Designer) by multi users at a time .
       Has anyone face this issue and How to fix it. It's major concern because same report can be accessed by multiusers at  same time
    Thanks
    Siva

    Siva,
    only one person at a time has permission to open the report in the Report designer - just like with Queries in the query designer.  This should not have any effect on you actually executing the report in the portal - multiple people can do it then.
    this is a security issue that other software vendors use as well - just like you cannot open any MS Office files on the network for editing that someone has opened already.
    Thanks
