Open an elevated cmd prompt Type manage-bde F: -status and look under "Key Protectors" to ensure that "Password" appears. Type manage-bde F: -unlock -pw and type your password to unlock the drive. If this fails, I suggest trying to unlock the drive on another machine in case the hardware problem is on your first computer. The computer will need to have Win7 installed. Alternatively, you can create a bootable WinRE (not WinPE) DVD, which will also allow you to manage BitLocker and attempt to unlock the drive. Instructions for this are here here. Have a look to this article, it will show you how to recover Bitlocker password: http://www.kodyaz.com/articles/windows-7-bitlocker-tool-and-bitlocker-password-recovery.aspx Thanks, Suren Face the fact tat we all have plenty to learn about this field.

Hi, You should type the recovery password not the password. For example: manage-bde unlock E: -recoverypassword 111111-222222-333333-444444-555555-666666-777777-888888Tracy Cai TechNet Community Support
