Hi after following your steps at 1:54 about disabling protectors I got an error with the code 0x80070490 in brackets and underneath is saying Element not found. Idk what to do
Followed and everything worked until "restart" i tried multiple commands. There is not button to restart so i X'ed out and restarted. Still blue screen saying the same thing
1:19 After I did that, I got a message saying "ERROR: The volume C: could not be opened by Bitlocker. This may be because the volume does not exists, or because it is not a valid Bitlocker volume."
@@CyberMedics yes, and I got a help from Microsoft forums, so far no help and the person who was helping me recently told me to type the disk commands and no results because I get an error and the person who was helping me said that’s weird that if no disk drive shows up then how is my pc still bootable?
@@DukeNguyen999 unfortunately no, so far the person who was helping me in Microsoft forums, basically told me to do the disk commands and it ended up with an error because how are my disk not shown but still able to boot up my pc
Not sure which command you were trying to run, but just checked them all and they work. If you run this command: Manage-bde -unlock c: -rp "Your Recovery Key no quotes" and the drive is not locked it will return an error.

Hi, what if the message after unlock C: or D: says- ERROR: An unlock mechanism (password, SID, certificate, recovery password, or recovery key) must be specified.
I need some help related to this as I’m stuck on the first screen. I was trying to reset my pc when it crashed. I was on the advanced recovery menu after and after nothing else worked I selected Chose an operating system. I selected the Windows 11 os from a list of Windows Recovery and two copies of Windows 11. Afterward it would turn on but display nothing.

Yo i had a question, so when i got the the second prompt with the recovery part, it outputs the message “The password failed to unlock volume C:” what do I do
From the description did you run item d) below? That should have given you the correct BL recovery key. BitLocker Commands a) Will give the status of BitLocker Protection on the drive Manage-bde -status c: b) Will unlock the drive if locked, otherwise will return an error Manage-bde -unlock c: -rp "Your Recovery Key no quotes" c) Will disable BitLocker Protection on your drive Manage-bde -protectors -disable c: d) Will give you the Drive ID & the Drive ID Password/BitLocker Key manage-bde -protectors -get c:
yo weirdly enough the computer booted the next day just fine, at this point should I just disable Bitlocker to prevent something like this happening again? @@CyberMedics
@@AaronJacob-e9v I can only tell you what we have done. Each person has to decide what is best for them. BitLocker is poorly implemented, because the user is not in control of what happens with the drive encryption. Please view & comment on our other video: ruclips.net/video/mgZ7wooKKtM/видео.htmlsi=FWyaY-C9OzBxmJK7. Since encryption could be reimplemented at a future date due to some MS account association, we have made the decision to log in with a MS account, activate it & keep a record copy of the key. Some people insist on logging in with a local account & deactivating BL. However, there is no way of knowing if MS might still encrypt the drive, associate it with a MS account & maybe you don't even know it. Read the comments on our other video and you will summarize this has happened to many others. BL encryption is useful if someone stole your computer, because they could not access your data. Thank you MS...we are not in control!
so this is unrelated, but at this point in time I am legitimately running out of options. to preface, my elder brother had an xbox (along with an online account). he passed away in 2017, and left all worldly possessions to me. that is not my current issue though. my current issue is that one day I opted to remove his account from the xbox one since he was kinda....well, not living. I encountered no issues after doing so, thus I assumed at the time it'd be fine.....fast forward to present day and that came back to bite me when I upgraded to a series x. I can no longer access half my downloaded library (though I don't really mind that for most of the affected games there are two I still played.) all because my brother's account is not on the system at all, or at least his email is not marked as being my relative on account of it not being on the system at all. I have the email address he used for his profile and his basic info, but I don't have anything payment related, nor do I have the password to the email. if I had the latter I could put his account onto the system easily. so with all that said, I humbly ask. what do?
Thank You so much! Got a new laptop right now and went into a loop, you've saved me.

After I tried, it said that The parameter is incorrect. Please help!
Are you entering a 48 digit numerical password for Bitlocker?

And to further clarify, all of the commands had the same reply as yours so I guess I entered all of them correctly.

But I don't have the recovery key
It is associated with a MS account somewhere. It could be on MS service you use or the person who originally set up the computer.

From the description did you run item d) below? That should have given you the correct BL recovery key.
BitLocker Commands
a) Will give the status of BitLocker Protection on the drive
Manage-bde -status c:
b) Will unlock the drive if locked, otherwise will return an error
Manage-bde -unlock c: -rp "Your Recovery Key no quotes"
c) Will disable BitLocker Protection on your drive
Manage-bde -protectors -disable c:
d) Will give you the Drive ID & the Drive ID Password/BitLocker Key
manage-bde -protectors -get c:
