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
For more information, please take a look at the following article.

  • 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:
    Repair-bde.exe Parameter Reference (it also applies to Windows 8.1)

    Can i install windows 7 via bootcamp (on my MB Air) while using remote disc? I put the windows 7 disk in my macbook pro drive, and connect to my brand new macbook air via remote disk. In bootcamp (on my air) i allocate the partition, then i click install, and bootcamp will not see the disk from my macbook pro's drive. How do i get the bootcamp assistant running on my MB air to automatically find the disk in my macbook pro with the ISO image of windows 7? The remote disk on my air can find the cd but bootcamp will not begin installing it. Anyway to do this without buying the damned usb drive?

    I don't know first hand if you can use the Remote Disk option with Windows but as of 10.7.2 you can now use BCAssistant to make a bootable USB (thumb drive or external disk) W7 installer with the Boot Camp drivers installed also. Have you tried that yet?

  • I have a MacBook Air 13 , mid 2009 & am trying to get it to show power point on a projector, I have the correct plug. Do I have to pst some keys to fire up the projector ? Kevin

    I have a MacBook Air 13 , mid 2009 & am trying to get it to show power point on a projector, I have the correct plug. Do I have to push some keys to fire up the projector ? Kevin

    The short answer is no. You will, however need to fire up the projector manually, and then change the input for the projector (if it hasn't already) to that of the computer. Once the projector is fired up and displaying an image of the screen of your computer, simply start the powerpoint as you normally would, since the projector will mirror your screen. If you will be talking for long periods of time without pressing any keys, or advancing the presentation, you might want to change the energy saver preferences to stop the computer from going to sleep as fast as it would. Does all this help?
    Best of luck!

  • My iPad Mini with retina display suddenly will not connect to the Internet. It shows full wifi bars, yet no web pages will load. My Internet is working with all other apple devices in my house. The iPad also no longer works with celluar data.

    My iPad Mini with retina display suddenly will not connect to the Internet. It shows full wifi bars, yet no web pages will load. My Internet is working with all other apple devices in my house. The iPad also no longer works with celluar data. I'm not sure what has happened. It was working fine a few hours ago. I have tried resetting it, ive restarted my browser etc. I tried to erase all data from my Ipad but I can't do that because it needs to sign into my Apple ID and use the Internet!

    Some things to try first:
    1. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord for 30 seconds or longer) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
    2. Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
    3. Change the channel on your wireless router (Auto or Channel 6 is best). Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
    4. Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.
    5.  Renew IP Address: (especially if you are drooping internet connection)
        •    Launch Settings app
        •    Tap on Wi-Fi
        •    Tap on the blue arrow of the Wi-Fi network that you connect to from the list

    Note - When troubleshooting wifi connection problems, don't hold your iPad by hand. There have been a few reports that holding the iPad by hand, seems to attenuate the wifi signal.
    Some Wi-Fi losses may stem from a problematic interaction between Wi-Fi and cellular data connections. Numerous users have found that turning off Cellular Data in Settings gets their Wi-Fi working again.
    You may have many apps open which can possibly cause the slowdown and possibly the loss of wifi. In iOS 4-6 double tap your Home button & at the bottom of the screen you will see the icons of all open apps. Close those you are not using by pressing on an icon until all icons wiggle - then tap the minus sign. For iOS 7 users, there’s an easy way to see which apps are open in order to close them. By double-tapping the home button on your iPhone or iPad, the new multitasking feature in iOS 7 shows full page previews of all your open apps. Simply scroll horizontally to see all your apps, and close the apps with a simple flick towards the top of the screen.

    You can force quit by holding the power button down for extended period.
    During boot up hold down the Option key and choose your Macintosh HD OSX.
    In >System Preferences> Startup Disk>choose your internal OSX System as Default.

    Solution:
    Open Disk Utility.
    Select your external hard disk and run a “verify” on it. After a few minutes (depending on the size of your drive), you should be good to go. You don’t need to run a “repair” on it... (at least I didn’t have to). See photo for reference.
    This should fix the permissions issue, because on my Mac running Mountain Lion I was unable to edit the permissions in the get info dialog window even after "unlocking" the drive.

    Welcome to the Apple community.
    A number of people have reported similar issues recently, many appear to have found a discrepancy of some kind in their account settings and making changes to these settings or simply resetting them has resolved the matter.
    Check your account details are correct, check that you are using the correct details for Location, Region and Time Zone. You may want to change these settings and then change them back to see if that helps.
    You might also try logging out of and then back into your iTunes account (Settings > iTunes Store > Apple ID’s > Sign Out) and restarting your router. (Some have reported that after doing this, they need to check for rentals even though it may report that there aren’t any, after which rentals once again appear in the ‘movies’ feature)
    Rentals should appear under their own heading in the ‘Movies’ feature, you might also check at Settings > iTunes Store > Check For Rentals.
