Bit locker recover key

Hi,
I have restarted my windows surface and its asking for the recovery key and has told me to go to http:/windows.microsoft.com/recoverykey to retrieve it. it also gave me the key ID if i need it. where do i go to retrieve this recovery key? using my key ID?

Hi,
When enabling the 'Bitlocker Encryption" for the drive in your computer, the system might generate a Recovery Key for future purpose. Please verify whether you saved the Recovery key either in USB or in another storage/print media.
And if you are part of any enterprise domain, your domain administrator can help you on this.

    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.

    Hi ,
    I am afraid that we cannot get the data back if the drive has been formatted even if use the

    You’d better contact your local data recovery center to try to get data back.

  • 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:

  • 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.

  • 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:

    Hi,
    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.

  • 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"
