    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，
    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.

  • Locked out of Apple ID AND lost Recovery Key for two-step verification

    Hey guys,
    Firstly, as the title implies, this is a double-whammy of a problem, and obviously, it is very much my fault. The reason I'm bothering to post this, however, is to find out if anyone else has had this issue and where they are at with it.
    The story:
    I set up two-step verification on my Apple ID about a year ago as I thought it was a good idea. I wrote the Recovery Key down as it told you to, and put it in a folder full of other important documents. In a epic mental lapse, however, I now remember later throwing out that folder, forgetting about my Recovery Key. Ya, that is my fault, I'm and idiot. Anyways...
    Fast forward to a few days ago, and I all of a sudden received messages on all my devices saying that my Apple ID had been disabled for security reasons, and that I had to reset the account in order to regain access to it. Scary, but no problem, right? Well, after entering my Apple ID into iForgot.com, the first thing it asked me for was my Recovery Key. This is around the time I was banging my head against the wall in realization that I had thrown it away, but I was relieved to see the "Lost your Recovery Key?" option at the bottom of the screen. I was even more relieved to discover that I had what I needed to reset it: my current password and a trusted Apple device. The catch was that to reset it, I needed to log into my Apple ID to initiate it, which of course I couldn't do because it had been disabled, and the only way for me to disable it is, again, to enter in my Recovery Key. This effectively put me in and endless loop, without any apparent way of gaining accesses to my account. I did contact Apple about it, and I was ultimately told that the lock on my account was so tight, that not even Apple could gain access to it.
    I understand that this level of security is probably the whole reason for the two-step verification in the first place, and I again concede that it was extremely foolish of me for forgetting about and discarding my Recovery Key, but a few things still don't make sense...
    1. Why would they put a "Lost your Recovery Key?" link on the password recovery page when a password is needed to reset the Recovery Key itself?
    2. As far as I can remember, Apple, in their briefing of how two-step verification works, did not bring up this scenario, which is probably relatively common. They DO mention that they can't help when you don't have access to two of the three necessary things for recovery, but they never brought up the apparent exception of if the account is disabled, in which case having two of the three things needed is not enough. I don't understand how they couldn't have mentioned this scenario.
    3. Given the above thought, how could Apple not have some sort of special contingency for this type of situation? I profess my ignorance of how these types of systems are set up, but I would feel that there should be a special method for recovery in place if the account has been locked, and the owner is able to verify that they have the password and trusted devices.
    I didn't mean to make it sound like a rant. I ADORE Apple, but this system seems like it's less than perfect.
    Has anyone else ran into this issue? If so, is your situation similar to mine?
    Thanks for any response!

    Hey everyone.
    It's been awhile, but I wanted to share with anyone who is interested some general knowledge about this issue that I have learned while communicating with Apple support. Unsurprisingly, the issue is still unresolved, and I am under the impression that it will remain that way, but I'm still trying to get in touch with one of the senior representatives I spoke with a while ago who seemed to think that there might be a solution, so I suppose there is still a chance that things could turn out for the better.
    Here's the rundown:
    Anytime you are unable to sign in to or access your account because of "security reasons", your account is under what is called a "DS Lockout".
    A DS Lockout on an Apple ID can be triggered for a few reasons, such as when too many failed logins to the Apple ID (using an incorrect password) are attempted, or when a purchase is made that Apple believes to be fraudulent.
    Under normal circumstances, a DS Lockout only lasts for 8 hours, after which the lock is lifted and access to the account by inputting the correct password is re-enabled.
    This is where the catch for anybody who set up two-step verification is.
    According to one of Apple's security representatives, IF you have two-step verification enabled upon being inflicted with a DS Lockout, the 8-hour lockout period is extended indefinitely as an additional security measure (a feature, I suppose). Therefore, the only way to regain access to the account is by resetting the password, as waiting for the lockout to expire is no longer an option. And of course, resetting your password, as stated by Apple, is one of the situations in which you need your Recovery Key. EVEN IF YOU KNOW WHAT THE ACCOUNT'S CURRENT PASSWORD IS, the lockout prevents you from being able to input it as a means of authentication. You MUST reset your password in order to regain access, and you MUST input your recovery key in order to reset your password.
    So, that seems to be the gist of it. It does make sense, but here's my problem:
    Upon setting up two-step verification, Apple does warn you of many things, but they do not make any mention of this specific scenario. Indeed, it is very much my fault for loosing my verification key, but the thing is, I’m human, I make mistakes, and I know that I will continue to do so. One of the reasons I chose to take the risk of setting up two-step verification is because Apple explicitly stated that as long as I had access to two of the three required "keys" -- my Recovery Key, my password, and at least one of my trusted Apple devices -- I would always be able to gain access to my account. In other words, as long as I didn’t screw up so bad as to loose access to two of my keys, I’d be okay. Obviously, there is a huge exception to this case that, again, is not mentioned anywhere, hence all the confusion. Had I know that it was possible that it could come down to me needing a single, specific key to regain access to my account, I probably would have opted out of two-step verification, recognizing that as a busy college student who's constantly reorganizing and dealing with tons of forms, worksheets, and other various documents, it's not as easy to hold on to a slip of paper as it might be for others. I'm hoping that at some point, Apple adds a big, red warning to the setup process which reads something like:
    "In the event that your Apple ID is locked due to a detected security risk, your Recovery key will be necessary to regaining access to your account; knowing your password and/or having access to any of your trusted devices will no longer be enough."
    I really do appreciate how seriously Apple takes its security, but I think that there is still room for improvement. This should start with more clearly and fully stating the conditions of its security measures, as well as having its customer support be more educated on these conditions (they themselves stated that they had never been trained on issues revolving around two-step verification). Protecting someone's private information is important, but so too is making every possible effort to ensure that customers can't easily loose access to all the content and services that they have spent much time and money building up and using.
    As stated above, I'm still trying to get a hold of the Apple representative who initially assisted me, so if I have any additional updates, I'll be sure to reply to this thread. I hope that anyone who is going through the same issue, or is simply curious, finds this information to be useful.

  • Manage-bde command is not generating recovery key on network location

    Hi,
    I am trying to save the recovery key to the network share location and start up key in the USB drive while enabling bit locker.When the OS drive gets encrypted, the default folder for recovery password shows that it contains 1 file but not getting anything
    inside it when i checked the properties of the folder.
    i have already changed the group policy as "choose default folder for recovery password".
    I am using the command to enable the bit-locker as "manage-bde.exe -on C: -rk
    <network location to save recovery key> -sk <location of the USB drive>
    -rp to enable the bit-locker. It is generating the start up key in the USB but not the recovery key on network share.
    Can anyone suggest what i am missing or what else i should do to generate the recovery key on network share.
    Does manage-bde process be able to save the recovery key on network share or it hand over to some other process to perform this task.
    Thanks
    Gaurav Ranjan

    I got you Manoj, but I want to ask you one think that what if i lost the startup  key or my USB stick. I have my recovery key on the network share.  In order to log-in my machine I need the recovery password. From where i will get the recovery
    password(48 digit). Surely from the recovery key on the network share. So how can i get the recovery password if only we have the recovery key.
    I know both are different in context. Both are two different thing. I have lost my USB stick along with the recovery password and I have to log-in my machine. How can i do that i want to know that. Do there is any method to get recovery password from the
    recovery key on network share. I have retrieved the recovery password when the recovery key in AD. But this time it is on network share.
    Also one think which I need to solve is that the manage-bde -protectors -add command creates a new .bek file along with the older one. So the .bek file which get shown at the time of the start up of the machine is different from that stored in the network.
    So i am getting confused as which .bek file is for which machine and hard to retrieve the password.
    Is there any method to store recovery key on network without the -protectors -add command line so that both the .bek file should be matched and can easily be known for indiviual machine in an OU. As if both the .bek files will be different it would be difficult
    to to retrieve the recovery password for the machines.
    Please do inform if you need some more information about the scenario if i missed something.
    Thanks

  • Bitlocker fails to store recovery key in AD

    I am deploying Windows 8.1 with Bitlocker with TPM and PIN and recovery keys stored in AD.
    This works fine for most deployments but rarely Manage-bde fails to store the Recovery key into AD. This only happened three times over about 200 deployments.
    I have checked the ZTIBDE.WSF script and I have noticed that the command is launched but there is no check on its return code. I am not even sure if Manage-bde actually returns any. Therefore for the failed deployments I don't know why the recovery key wasn't
    stored and also I din't get any report that it actually failed. The only reason we realised that is because one user had problems in getting the PIN to work and required the Recovery Key. To our surprises this was not in AD! This is then when we checked
    all AD objects and found only three didn't have it. Looking at the deployment logs there are no errors for these.
    Luckily the user then successfully managed to enter the PIN and could boot up his laptop (and, by the way, we could get his recovery key from C:\). 
    Questions:
    1) Has anybody else experienced this?
    2) Does Manage-BDE return anything at all? It seems strange to me that ZTIBDE.WSF doesn't check for its return code as the script checks for errors in a million places.
    3) Is there any easy way I can check whether the AD info is actually stored? I was thinking to write some code to query AD for that computer and see if the BL info actually are there. Maybe Manage-BDE can provide that?
    Many thanks.

    Hi,
    This link has all the information you need. And more importantly which policies to create.
    I have managed to do this implementation myself, and can only state that it works like a charm.
    See a copy/paste of the bit-locker section I have configured in the customsettings.ini when doing deployments with MDT:
    [HP Elitepad 900]
    SkipTaskSequence=YES
    TaskSequenceID=OSD001
    ; Bitlocker Configuration
    BDEInstallSuppress=NO
    BDeWaitForEncryption=False
    BDEDriveLetter=S:
    BDEDriveSize=2000
    BDEInstall=TPM
    ; OSDBitLockerCreateRecoveryPassword=AD
    BDERecoveryKey=AD
    BDEKeyLocation=C:\Windows\BDEKey
    Hope this helps!

  • HT204152 Apple ID Disabled & Lost Recovery Key (Two-Step Verification)

    If you use Two-Step Verification:
    If your Apple ID is disabled "for security reasons" AND you lost your Recovery Key ALL HOPE IS NOT LOST!  Speaking from a recent, nearly devastating experience, I hopefully will provide some relief to others in the same boat...
    After speaking to several customer service representatives who basically told me that without the recovery key, there was no way to access my account and everything would be lost forever, I finally spoke with a senior customer service representative that actually understood my issue (most thought I just forgot my password).
    As it turns out, my account was locked due to too many incorrect PW attempts (not exactly sure how that happened).  I was prompted to go to appleid.apple.com and when trying to log in, prompted to enter my Recovery Key.  I couldn't get further than that.  What I didn't realize and the other reps didn't tell me was after 8 hours, the account is unlocked.  I was then able to log in at applied.apple.com and verify my account using a trusted device.  I was then able to create a new recovery key (and print it out and put copies everywhere so this wouldn't happen again!).
    Lessons Learned:  1. Don't lose the Recovery Key again!  2. When talking to Apple Customer Service, ask to speak with a senior customer service representative.  3.  Wait 8 hours without trying to log in and your Apple ID is unlocked again.

    we all have had unsatisfactory results with entry level CS techs. Your advice to be assertive about speaking with a Senior Tech is sound and where I have ALWAYS found satsifaction. Methinks the proprietary Customer Service Knowledge Base may be running the same software as our forums - Terrible searching is a rule here. - the other two suggestions are very good as well - ÇÇÇ

  • Recovery key

    I've was a iTools user and a .mac and mobileme (yuk) user. I've had the same email for almost 15 years. Now I'm reading about a "recovery key" if you get locked out of your Apple account. I never had one. How do I get it? I'm worried.
    http://thenextweb.com/apple/2014/12/08/lost-apple-id-learnt-hard-way-careful-two -factor-authentication/
    I don't intend to ever use my iphone to handle my credit cards or bank cards. Too iffy at this point and if there's a problem the trail for fixing it is too long. Better to be conservative and use cards in my wallet like we have since I was born.

    If it is a BitLocker problem the URL is

    If it is not a BitLocker problem you will have to contact HP Technical for more assistance.

  • HT5577 Recovery Key lost

    I lost my keys Recovery Key stored on my USB . But Lost .
    Q How can I reset the password of the Body ID . So my password is disabled .

    You can access http://appleid.apple.com to reset the password provided that you know the current password and have the 'trusted device' to which Apple can send an entry key. Then you can request a new recovery key which you should keep very safe.
    If you don't have both the trusted device and the password then you are locked out and no-one can help you.

  • Windows 8.1 Pro Shows me (Identifier) Key ID FCB##### & I have the Recovery Key File with 48 digits - It Will Not Unlock!!

    And the password, I have tried unlocking the Gold Key Locked drive by right clicking on it in file explorer and also going to the control panel, In both area's I have tried the password phrase and the Recovery Key 48 digits I have in both the Cloud and on
    a secondary HD, so what I am saying is I have all the information and I am still unable to unlock the drive.
    Any suggestions?
    The only thing I did, was when I signed back into the drive I recreated the file, but it shpould not have done a thing because I used the same password phrase.
    I also so have that written down on a piece of paper, so I have it on paper, in a digital file and in the Cloud and it just will not open the drive.
    I need help, I have also use the command prompt all to no avail. it gives me a "Wrong Password", there's no way because I was using the same phrase P/W and I was going in and out of the drive. It wasn't until the next day that I was unable to get
    back in.
    Any help, suggestion would be greatly appreciated.

    Hello Encryptionist,
    Do you mean that you can’t use the password and recovery key to unlock the BitLocker encrypted volume?
    Have you made any changes before this issue?
    Do you receive any error message when you use the password to unlock the volume?
    Please double check if you have input the right password and recovery key.
    Please check if you have forget that you change the password and recovery key.
    Additionally, we could run the command repair-bde to repair drive.
    The following example attempts to repair drive C and write the content on drive C to drive D by using the 48-digit recovery password specified. The recovery password should be typed in eight blocks of six digits with a hyphen separating each block.
    repair-bde C: D: -rp 111111-222222-333333-444444-555555-666666-777777-888888

  • Windows 8.1 Pro Shows me Identifier/Key ID & I have the Recovery Key File with 48 digits

    I also have the password written down on a piece of paper, neither one work. When I right click to unlock the Gold Lock, I type in the password it will not work, then the system shows me "Key IF: FCB##### number, it matchs the key on the digital file.
    Not matter what I try I haven't been able to unlock the 1T HD, it did encrypt the few files I had on the drive, then I was adding more, all was fine until I shut it down and tried to log into it the next day. Since then, nothing. Like I said I did save the
    file "BitLocker Recovery Key File" no good, won't unlock.Can anyone help?
    I even have a copy of it in the cloud

    Hi Encryptionist,
    How did you configure the Bitlocker ?Have you configured a password to unlock the drive?
    To unlock the Bitlocker drive ,we just need to input the password if we have configured it. If there are letters in the password ,please check whether the caps lock has been enabled .
    The recovery key is used when we forgot the password .The identifier ID showed in the inputting dialog should be corresponding with the ID in the recovery key files. Please ensure they are the same.
    If the issue persists, the specific drive may have suffered a corruption. Please use Bitlocker repair tool to recovery the data.
    You can refer to the detailed instruction in the link below:

  • How do i get a recovery key ???????? PLEASE HELP !!

    I need help on getting a recovery key to change my password for icloud because if i change my password it will let me unlock the activation lock on my iphone 4 after restoring my phone and i've tried soooo many things to try to get into my iphone without the activation lock but nothing has been working and im so stressed !!!!

    If you set up 'two-step' verification for your Apple ID you were given a recovery key. Once this is set up you have three items of information:
    Your password
    Your 'trusted device', i.e. a mobile phone to which a code can be sent
    Your recovery key
    You need two of these in order to get into your ID. If you lose one of them you can use the other two. If you lose two of them then you cannot get into ID. There is no way at all round that: Apple cannot help you (as is made clear when you set up two-step verification).

    Hello aweirandyski.1975,
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    From what you're describing appears to be Activation Lock, a security measure provided by Apple that makes it harder for people to use a lost or stolen device.  You will need to enter the password for the Apple ID the device is prompting you for.
