How can I validate my recovery key?

I've employed FileVault, and want to validate that the recovery key I have actually works. How do I do that?

If you have lost your recovery key then unfortunately there is nothing to do, it can be regenerated but that will cause all data in sync to be deleted. You could try syncing your phone, then disconnecting it from sync, create a new sync account and connect your phone to send the data to that account, but there is a potential for the data to be lost there as well. sorry.

My laptop crashed and i lost my recovery key. All my bookmarks are still showing up on my android samsung galaxy 4. How can I recover my original recovery key? I tried deleting my account and creating a new one as suggested but now I get a sync error saying the recovery keys don't match. Also is there a way to export my bookmarks from my mobile device?

How can I find Bitlocker External Key File location?

My Windows 8.1 PC includes a system drive and data drives. All the drivers were encrypted using Bitlocker with the data drives set for autounlock.
I recently decrypted the system drive (without decrypting the data drives) and reinstalled the OS, after which my data drives required the Bitlocker recovery key to unlock.
However, I had "backed up" the recovery keys to my Microsoft account but now I can find only the recovery keys for the system drive. The recovery keys for the data drives cannot be found on my Microsoft account.
I have tried to use the "manage-bde" command at the console to obtain the recovery password but I am only getting the Numerical Password ID and the External Key File Name. Can anyone provide advice on how I can retrieve the passwords or the
External Key File location?
Thanks.

Hi Ridgewood,
As my point of viewer, the BitLocker Automatic unlock volume is also protected by BitLocker Disk Encryption. The user encrypted information is stored in the registry and volume metadata. After a user unlocks the operating system volume, BitLocker uses the
encrypted information to unlock the data volume automatically.
After the reinstallation of the system, the encrypted information is lost and BitLocker can’t unlock the data volume automatically.
Every volume has own recovery key.
As mentioned in your post, the data drive require the recovery key to unlock.
I suggest you to double-check the OneDrive and try to find out where did you store the recovery key.
If you can’t find the recovery key, we can’t help you to decrypt the data volume.

How can I get a recovery disk for Satellite P300-1CI?

Hi everybody,
first, sorry for my english, I'm a belgian and I speak french.
Yesterday I bought a toshiba Satellite P300-1CI, when I started, I must installed Vista home.
I would like to format my disk and reinstall my old Windows XP.
My question is : How can keep an image disk with Vista? I don't have an installation disk of Vista and don't know my registration key of it.
How can I have a recovery disk ?
Can you help me please.
PS : Sorry for my english

Hi mate
User manual is really interesting document and in most cases it answer all you questions ;)
Anyway, the Toshiba recovery disk should be created before you would format and install on the HDD.
You have to use the preinstalled Toshiba Recovery Disk Creator application in order to create the Recovery DVD.
Now to you other question;
The Vista image which is preinstalled and placed on the Recovery disk (after recovery disk has been created) is activated already and you dont need to insert any keys or activate anything.

How can I recover my Recovery hd

How can I recover my recovery HD on my mac pro

Better forums would be Lion Community, and MacBook Pro (this is not notebook users).
https://discussions.apple.com/community/mac_os/mac_os_x_v10.7_lion?view=discussi ons
Depends what year and whether yours came with Lion (2011 and later) or not.
Whether you know how to reinstall Liion. But what happens when you hold Option key or Command-r when you startup? you can't boot into Lion Recovery? And do you have TimeMachine? an external backup drive?

Can't validate and get key features in PSE12

My problem:
My Photoshop Elements 12 purchased from Amazon seems to be lacking features such as access to layers, etc.. Here's the series of events that I initiated. One of these might have thrown off things.
a) Downloaded a free 30 day trial version of PCE12.
2) Saw a good deal at Amazon and decided to purchase.
3) Don't have a DVD player so instead of using the discs I went online and after uninstalling the 30 day trial version I downloaded and installed (what could have been the same 30 day version) At some point I was prompted and entered my new serial number.
So I have a running copy of PSE12 but w/o key features. Is that typical of the trial version? Will these features such as 'layers' capability appear only after I have validated? I can't seem to get the validation going. Appreciate any help out there. Forget the phone help; it's at least a three hour wait. And are they charging me too?

Thanks for your answer to my desperate plea... I actually discovered this 'Expert' feature by following a Youtube how-to video later that evening. So, still appreciate that you care enough to reply. I'm just learning this software application and will continue watching the many videos from the Youtube source. Do you by any chance know what 'validation' provides as an advantage?Thanks again.Dave

I agree Amazon has normally the best price when it comes to software and other books. NEVER EVE buy from Adobe direct.
Good call from your part.

How can I validate an X509Certificate ?

I'm not really sure of what makes a certain cetificate different from a certificate that I create in my comupter... I mean, how can I validate that a certain certificate belongs to the entity it says it belongs to?
Is my question clear enough?
I hope someone can help me with this...

Hello,
You do not validate certificates per say, they are either valid or they are not.
Certificates contain a certificate chain/path leading back to a certification authority. Your computer/java has a list of trusted authorities. If the afore mentioned path does not lead back to one of them, authenticity (of software/documents) amongst other things can not be gauranteed. In this case, you would contact the publisher of the cert and verify it is them by comparing keys.
Yes you can create you own certificate and distribute it, but you will be the one to handle all requests to verify that the pub.key in the cert is actually yours.
I hope this has cleared it up... and is accurate for that matter (if anyone cares to point out).
Warm regards,
Darren

You will only know about the hard drive when you try to access it in TDM from your other computer. If you cannot boot into TDM mode or if the drive does not appear on the new computer's Desktop then it is likely bad.
What you are thinking about as a recovery disk is the Recovery HD normally created when you install Lion or later on the computer. You boot from it as follows:
Boot Using Command+R keys:
1. Restart the computer.
2. Immediately after the chime press and hold down the
"COMMAND" and the "R" keys together.
3. Release the keys when the Utilities Menu appears.

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).

How can I validate my warranty with a refurbished iphone?

On August 28th I visited Miami and I went to the Apple Store to replace my Iphone 4 broken out of warranty with a Refurbished Iphone.
The problem is that the refurbished Iphone replacement never worked! I tried to verify my coverage status but it is out of warranty. I know that there are 90 days of warranty. However, how can I validate this warranty because the IMEI is not accepted to chat or contact Apple Support? Somebody can help me?
Thank you

I've already checked it, however the device does not have coverage. It was a refurbished iphone 4 and theoretically it has 90 days of warranty.
According to your original post, your limited warranty is scheduled to expire on November 28th. That service replacement warranty was never intended to include live support via chat or phone conversations with an AppleCare advisor.
