Bit locker Recovery

Hi,
Can anyone help me on this, I am using Win 8.1 Ent edition and Hard-disk has been encrypted from control panel, now I changed my Laptop motherboard and prompting me the recovery key on booting :(, when I log into my Microsoft account error will throws
stating "You don't have any BitLocker recovery
keys in your Microsoft account." I have some important data in my drive and seeking your help to get the recovery ID
Thanks,
Jimu

Hi,
You can refer to the detailed steps to troubleshoot this issue, as
Ronald Schilf mentioned already, if you don't have a recovery key, then I', afraid that you’ll need to restore the PC to factory default settings, do a reinstallation.

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.

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.

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.

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"

Bit Locker Implementation in Windows 8.1 machine using Windows server 2008 r2 server group policy.

is it possible to enable the bit locker only for windows 8.1 machines through windows 2008 r2 server group policy ?
Thanx and Regards,
Shanif

Hi Shanif,
Yes, we can do this.
Regarding how to enable Bitlocker via group policy, the following article can be referred to as reference.
Cannot Save Recovery Information for Bitlocker in Windows 7
http://blogs.technet.com/b/askcore/archive/2010/02/16/cannot-save-recovery-information-for-bitlocker-in-windows-7.aspx
After configuring the settings, we can use security filtering or WMI filtering to apply the policy to specific computers.
Regarding this point, the following blog can be referred to for more information.

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 "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.
