There is no way in Hell you can just plug a Bitlocker-encrypted drive into another computer and disable Bitlocker encryption on that drive. If it were that easy, there would be no point to even using Bitlocker. Think you need to check your facts.
Yeah, he talking out his ass. Thats why a TPM is needed for every computer running bitlocker. Its unique to that specific computer and can knly ne unlocked using the key generated using that tpm

Nice video but totally useless tips and also trying to promote their software. All options presented assume you have unlocked the drive. Very misleading!
I tried the third method, attached my ssd to another computer and in the control panel it just says drive is locked and there is no option to turn off the bitlocker
I was in a big trouble when I formatted my C drive (system drive) and my other drives like D, E and F were locked by bitlocker and I didn't know the recovery key. After some trial and error, I finally was able to unlock those drive without losing the data. Here is how you can also unlock your drives: (You need to have a dell laptop) -Restart system and enter a BIOS mode (Keep pressing F12 if you are a dell user. For other manufacturers, key might get differ). -After entering BIOS, you will see an option called 'SupportAssist OS Recovery' and press enter. -Choose option RESET (This will re-install the factory operation system that came with the system when you had bought it) -After choosing RESET, you will see 2 options: Reset to factory setting and Reset and update. -Choose Reset to factory setting (You might want to take back up of your C drive if there are any important files stored on your desktop, documents, downloads, etc. because this will format your C drive (where windows is installed) and will re-install the factory OS.) -It will take 15-20 mins and you are done! -You will be asked setup your system (like new). -Once it is done, you will see that your locked drives have been unlocked successfully and data is still there in the drives as you left. THIS IS HOW IT WORKED FOR ME. I'M POSTING THIS IN ORDER TO HELP SOMEONE WHO IS FACING THE SIMILAR ISSUE.
Thank you very much for all this tips. Also is very convenient when Windows cannot load for some reason (error or after an update) and you are not able to get your system up and running.
Unfortunately none of these worked for me when I tried to unlock my bitlockered USB. The first asked for me to unlock bitlocker before wondershare would recover any files. For the second solution, MS never backed up my key, and for the third solution, there was no 'turn off bitlocker' option, just 'unlock bitlocker', which prompted the password/recover key as normal.
You cannot just plug a bit locker encrypted drive to another computer and just click decrypt drive. That defeats the purpose of encryption. You will still need your password from the old computer or the recovery key.
when the recovery do ask for our Bitlocker key?? I have my key but when I changed my cpu the bitlocked drive got no more recognized by bitlocker, it just appear as an empty non formated drive.
Hi! I have a very specific problem. My USB was BitLocker protected, I have removed the protection, however some files remained locked. I still have the BitLocker password and the Recovery key, but I am still unable to open my files. Is there any method to remove the protection form the individual files?
Hi there, thank you for your question! It's possible that the individual files were encrypted separately using a different encryption method or program. BitLocker typically encrypts the entire drive, and once you've unlocked the drive, all the files should be accessible. Ensure that BitLocker protection is fully disabled, and if you still can't access some files, they might have been encrypted with another method. Check for any specific file extensions or markers indicating a different encryption method, and consider making a backup of the locked files onto your computer to troubleshoot decryption separately.
My windows crashed, when I try to open the drive on different computer, it writes an error message about some missing or corrupt files... I still remember the password
I have an extra drive (not C:) encrypted with bitlocker. I can't remember the password, and I never had a recovery key. Is there a way to access the files in the encrypted drive?
i lost my bitlocker key on external drive. I connected it to other laptop and tried through control panel, when clicked on the specified drive it ain't showing any option to switch off bitlocker encryption. Please help me. Regards
for the 3rd solution it's not working if you have an already hard drive encrypted they will ask you the recovery key (it would be easy and useless if it's work... xD)
Hi there, thank you for your question! If you don't have the code its very unlikely you will be able to decrypt the data i would recommend taking it to a professional to see if they can help.
HI pls help me! I have a flashdrive it's 16gb and it does play videos but unfortunately it can only play videos with 500mb or less gb, I've tried copying movies with more than 500mb but it just keep saying "can't play video"🤷 Is there any way to fix it?
Thank you very much for all these tips. But we did not get any recovered data from a Bitlocker encrypted drive. Are there any other possible ways to find it?
Hi there, thank you for your question! Have you tried checking for backups of the data? I would suggest contacting professional data recovery services specializing in encrypted drives. Additionally, you can seek assistance from Microsoft support or online forums specifically dedicated to BitLocker for guidance and potential tools to aid in data recovery. Remember that the success of data recovery depends on the situation and severity of the issue, so consulting experts is advisable for critical data that cannot be recovered through conventional methods.
i have a vhd which was created and encrypted in windows 7 but after i upgrade to windows10/11 bitlocker doesnt recognize the drive and mount directly but files are still encrypted cant be opened. Any way i can recover my files?
Hi there, It is possible to recover permanently deleted data. You can try the trial version to check if your files can be found. If so, then it is suggested to buy to recover them back. Try Recoverit for free here: bit.ly/3Yte0n0
Good day. I have followed all options to rever files from Bitlocker encrypted drive. I selected the drive and stillasks for password or recovery key. Please help. Thank you.
Hi there, thank you for your question! Try to connect the drive to a different USB port or restart your computer to resolve any software glitches. If possible, try accessing the drive on a different computer to determine if the issue is specific to your system. If all else fails, it is recommended to contact Microsoft Support for further assistance. It's essential to have a backup of your BitLocker recovery key stored in a secure location for situations like this.
So we need the recovery key? No way to retrieve it with the normal password? (The one I'm asked on startup) I have a laptop who had a swollen battery, and I have important files on it, can I retrieve the files or am I screwed?
what if you dont have the bitlocker key? I went into control panel = security = Bitlocker drive encryption = it shows the locked drive and the only option I get is "unlock" My data is on the drive and I'm losing hope; can someone help me please!
I had accidentally encrypted some specific files in my laptop and I don't have the certificate or key - is there any solution for my this problem? Can I ever recover my data? Can you please please please help me?
my problem is that i know my bitlocker password but unfortunately i have changed window 10 to 8.1. now my encrypted drive is not open by saying wrong password. what i do help me??
are you able to unlock your drive ?? my problem is also same , i changed my window 10 to 7 now drive is locked i know my pass and recovery key but there is no option to provide that
when i have window 7 i locked drive f after few years i forgot the pasword and recovery key and also installl window 10 two times is it possible to unlock drive ? kindly tell me i
Hi there, thank you for your question! Some third-party software options available that claim to be able to unlock a locked drive include Passware Kit, Elcomsoft Forensic Disk Decryptor, and DiskInternals Unlocker. If reinstalling Windows 7 doesn't help, you can try formatting the drive to unlock it, but this will delete all data on the drive. Using third-party software to unlock a locked drive may carry some risks, so it's recommended to seek the assistance of a qualified technician if you are unsure about how to proceed.

Bro what have you done then
I tried the third method, attached my ssd to another computer and in the control panel it just says drive is locked and there is no option to turn off the bitlocker
The third method seems to suggest that anyone without the key can steal a drive an decrypt it - which makes it practically useless.
@link4566 it is not true, you will have to know the password to the computer or you will need the bit locker recovery key.
AGREE.....

Misleading, deceptive and incorrect info to sell their software which would not even be needed if the drive was already "unlocked".
