Hi,
Before the encrypting, the BitLocker setup wizard prompts you to choose how to store the recovery key. You can choose from the following options:
Save the recovery key to a USB flash drive. Saves the recovery key to a USB flash drive.Save the recovery key to a file. Saves the recovery key to a network drive or other location.Print the recovery key. Prints the recovery key.
If you have at least one of the following, you can use the
BitLocker Repair Tool to recover the drive.
Recovery password
Recovery key file location
Recovery package file location and the corresponding recovery password
Recovery package file location and the corresponding recovery key file location
And, you must have an empty output volume of equal or larger size than the BitLocker-protected drive (whose contents will be completely overwritten after the repair operation).Tracy Cai
