What if you bought a computer from a pawn shop and cannot get the bitlocker turned off? No key, no nothing because the password that was given was wrote down incorrectly.
It worked for me. My laptop is from HP but I bought it with Win11 built in, plus my disk blocked. I didn’t knew it until I tried to install Win10. Installation window was saying that my disk was inaccessible or something like that, I wasn’t able to do anything with it. Before finding this video I saved the recovery key from control panel (totally by accident😂), because that was the only thing appearing in there when typing BitLocker. Then in bios in boot menu I disabled "secured boot" and cleared all the keys. Then I miraculously found this video and took the instructions in this video and then proceeded to Windows installation again and boom worked smooth like butter on a pan. Big thank you. (2022)
What if this is the first time happening and you never got a bitlocker recovery key? Because I clicked on load hive and I put a USB drive in but I don't have a bitlocker key, what can I do from there?
That is exactly my issue as well. This happened after the latest windows update and now I am stuck. I never got a bit locker key so I certainly don’t know how to access it. load hive is grayed out and is not an option for me. My command prompt options state they cannot access the drive because the volume is locked.
I Tried This But When I Went To The F Drive It Has : Apps , Data , Logs , Pictures , Sources & Telemetry Folders ..Theres No Key Or Bitlocker Recovery Id ☹️
Hiii , after clicking load hive , my recovery code is not showing, only a folder naming recovery is coming. After clicking that nothing happens, plzz help me buddy 😭

Para remover o bitlocker você não tinha nem a senha e nem a chave de segurança e mesmo assim conseguiu acessar o HD vendo esse vídeo ? Se sim o bitlocker não adianta se nada então.
@@jackson35bmx Eu tinha a chave de segurança, que pode ser adquirida no Site da Microsoft. O problema é que mesmo com a chave se eu tentasse remover o Bitlocker ele não saia de forma alguma. Por exemplo, ao alterar a quantidade de núcleos a serem utilizados no Notebook uma mensagem de "Restrição BitLocker" era emitida, informando que devido à mudança que estava sendo feita, somente seria possível acessar o dispositivo com a chave BitLocker. Então eu pensei, "Bom, é só inserir a senha uma só vez e depois fica tudo certo!" Para a minha infelicidade, esse pensamento estava completamente errado. Toda vez que eu realizava o acesso no Notebook ele requisitada a Senha/Chave, até que chegou um ponto em que o "PIN" que eu havia colocado no computador, sumiu. Após isso, a Senha/Chave que eu inseria, dizia estar "incorreta", sendo que em nenhum momento eu havia alterado ela. Dito isso, perdi acesso a máquina e só consegui recuperar quando formatei com os dados de fábrica. Daí, como informado anteriormente, somente depois de 2 anos, que foi quando eu achei esse vídeo, eu consegui remover de vez à Criptografia BitLocker. Respondendo sua pergunta, o BitLocker tem sim sua função. Se você tentar alterar algo na Máquina, que mexa de alguma forma com a funcionalidade padrão atribuída à ela, o BitLocker Criptografa completamente a unidade, fazendo com que externos não consigam acesso sem que tenham em posse a Senha/Chave para desbloqueio. Se eu quiser por exemplo, mudar todas as configurações possíveis e depois Criptografar novamente a unidade, eu posso e é até melhor fazer isso. A questão é que eu não ligo para o acesso dos terceiros, como meu Notebook fica vinculado somente em Redes Privadas, é bem difícil que alguém tenha acesso. E se eu ativar o BitLocker, toda mudança que eu fizer, eu terei que repetir o processo de Descriptografar e Criptografar. Por isso eu escolhi retirar! Mas se você for utilizar redes públicas, é até melhor você ter BitLocker, ele não inibi, porém, previne.

Hey Snapshots, I dont remember having set a bitlocker key and I set my Surface Pro 6 myself. I also logged in to Microsoft account but it says the bitlocker key is not saved on this account. I tried to disable security boot in BIOS and also turned off TPM. It still shows the same screen for bitlocker after restarting. I have literally tried every troubleshooting. I dont mind cleaning it completely but I have one important folder which I dont want to lose. I tried to repair but no luck either. PLEASE HELP AS I NEED MY FOLDER URGENTLY. Its been 3 hours I am trying to solve this

So what to do when you have no idea what a bitlocker is or where the number is saved. Ive nevrr heard of it. I tried to do a Lenovo prompted update and now i cant use my laptop. Searched microsoft account and nothing in there. I'm screwed 😔
1. Try to get into the Windows recovery options via a bootable Windows (USB). 2. In the Windows Recovery Options menu, click Troubleshoot, and then click Advanced Options. Click Uninstall Updates. 3. Restart your PC
@@johnnyappleseedz422 yea I have a very similar but slightly older model. It was top of the range at the time.. it just got wiped and had to re install windows. There is no work around despite what you might see on RUclips. If you don't have the bitlocker number saved or the Microsoft account it's linked to you're screwed. I found 2 Microsoft accounts but neither were linked or had the number saved. I also had never heard of it and when I got my laptop back after Windows being freshly installed I asked the technician to show me where to find the bit locker number. 2 guys couldn't find it and then said it doesn't come on Windows Home only pro. But I only ever had Home and not Pro so I have no idea where this thing came from. I think it's more sabotage from Microsoft than anything else. Their customer service is appalling and not even worth the phone call. Useless. Goodluck mate but you'll probably need to do a reinstall.
@@Raimi.123 sorry to say it mate but you are screwed if you don't have bitlocker written down or backed up somewhere. After all my efforts and the technicians I took it to they knew of no work around and so I had a total factory re set. Its absolute bullshit what happens. I did a lenovo prompted update and got locked out of my own laptop. No one knew how it got there, I never heard of it, no back up no anything.. just gone. Left with more questions unanswered than answered. A complete joke if you ask me! Sorry mate.

If I do not enter the recovery key at the beginning, it takes me to the screen where I can click on troubleshoot and the rest. I refuse to believe that there is no way to format this laptop and reinstall windows. It's not your problem, but thank you for trying to help me
Okay, let's make it complicated. What if it was the C Drive that got locked, and you do not have any copies of your Bitlocker Recovery Key? There are so many cases that the Bitlocker gets enabled for no reason, and users never backed up their Bitlocker key, do you have a solution to that?
It is a good question, Brother Thanks for asking , when you got a new pc, installed all programs and ready to use, clone it or create system restore points immediately Never save any important files in bootable C drive.
@@SnapshotTechTips okay, let's say the user never done that? There was an update that made Bitlocker enabled even for WIndows 10/11 Home users which obviously does not have a Bitlocker feature but got enabled anyway.. how to solve that issue bro?
For an example samsung galaxy Tab Pro S Turn on , Press F1 and F2 as the same time, until you can get into BIOS 2. Click BOOT Menu 3. Secure boot control Turn on 4. Fast Bios Mode Turn on 5. Select F10 and click on OK button to save the changes , and then it works

Hi Meg, You can format your hard disk, but you will lose all data, and also you can do a clean windows installation if you got a bootable windows usb. BitLocker is too complicated, if you don’t know well, it is better, you don’t use it. Snapshot Tech Tips
Yes , you can , click on ,and highlight hkey local machine, brother Try another secret way In the cmd command prompt window Type notepad Click on file Scroll down your mouse to open
I didn't turn on bitlocker. My pc froze and rebooted to the enter bitlocker key. What happens when you never enabled this tool or save a key from the start?

You could use an alternative method to get into the File Explorer:
Step 1. In the command prompt window, you can type notepad
and then hit Enter
Step 2. Click File and scroll down your mouse to select open option
I cant even get to troubleshoot option and I don't have the "skip this drive" option. This solution would work if I did.
So you have to use a bootable Windows 10 or 11 usb to get to troubleshoot option, it is simple like that.
What if there is no other drive just single drive ssd?
Where Did I Save My BitLocker Recovery Key? I Wish I Knew It Earlier
m.ruclips.net/video/TEnP_b7K1Do/видео.html
Hey Snapshots, I dont remember having set a bitlocker key and I set my Surface Pro 6 myself. I also logged in to Microsoft account but it says the bitlocker key is not saved on this account. I tried to disable security boot in BIOS and also turned off TPM. It still shows the same screen for bitlocker after restarting. I have literally tried every troubleshooting. I dont mind cleaning it completely but I have one important folder which I dont want to lose. I tried to repair but no luck either. PLEASE HELP AS I NEED MY FOLDER URGENTLY. Its been 3 hours I am trying to solve this
Hi Boney, is anyone used this Surface Pro 6.
Ask them to login Microsoft account, and check it out too.
@@SnapshotTechTips No, I am the only person using it ever since I bough it
Did you create a system restore point earlier?
@@SnapshotTechTips No! I checked for restore also and its also says there isnt any restore point. I tried to disable security bios and TPM. didnt work
Manually remove the keyboard from the surface Pro6 and then Reconnect it. Turn it on again.
There is no option of usb F drive 😢😢😢
How you get USB files that contain password
You gotta sniff the tpm key
you already have the recovery key 48 digits bro. so you can unlock just click the drive and enter that key but i don't have it.

If your Windows OS C drive doesn't have any important files to backup, and you said you did try everything.
Why don't you format your C drive? and do a clean installation of Windows.
@@SnapshotTechTips ok i will do this.thanks
Does the percentage encrypted needs to get 0.0% first before i command exit? Thanks for your help.
There's no need for you to wait. The decryption will happen in the background. You can exit at any time.

Can you help idk why it says I don’t have a drive but I have a drive the load hive thingy menu also say I don’t have a drive
Hi Ryan
What is the problem with your PC?
Do you use BitLocker?
So what to do when you have no idea what a bitlocker is or where the number is saved. Ive nevrr heard of it. I tried to do a Lenovo prompted update and now i cant use my laptop. Searched microsoft account and nothing in there. I'm screwed 😔
1. Try to get into the Windows recovery options via a bootable Windows (USB).
2. In the Windows Recovery Options menu, click Troubleshoot, and then click Advanced Options.
Click Uninstall Updates.
3. Restart your PC
This just happened to me today after installing updates. And this is why I don't install updates. Garbage!! Lenovo Yoga C940 Trash!!
@@johnnyappleseedz422 yea I have a very similar but slightly older model. It was top of the range at the time.. it just got wiped and had to re install windows. There is no work around despite what you might see on RUclips. If you don't have the bitlocker number saved or the Microsoft account it's linked to you're screwed. I found 2 Microsoft accounts but neither were linked or had the number saved. I also had never heard of it and when I got my laptop back after Windows being freshly installed I asked the technician to show me where to find the bit locker number. 2 guys couldn't find it and then said it doesn't come on Windows Home only pro. But I only ever had Home and not Pro so I have no idea where this thing came from. I think it's more sabotage from Microsoft than anything else. Their customer service is appalling and not even worth the phone call. Useless. Goodluck mate but you'll probably need to do a reinstall.
@@daves7104how to reinstall then? Does it mean factory reset😢
@@Raimi.123 sorry to say it mate but you are screwed if you don't have bitlocker written down or backed up somewhere. After all my efforts and the technicians I took it to they knew of no work around and so I had a total factory re set. Its absolute bullshit what happens. I did a lenovo prompted update and got locked out of my own laptop. No one knew how it got there, I never heard of it, no back up no anything.. just gone. Left with more questions unanswered than answered. A complete joke if you ask me! Sorry mate.
It shows a G disk not a usb disk and the file name of recovery txt is itself recovery not the key value , what should I do
Then you have to go into the system image recovery option
@@SnapshotTechTips can you please elaborate I don't get it .. like where exactly that option is available

Hi Diego
Try this out
Type diskpart in the Command Prompt window and hit Enter.
Type list disk and hit Enter to view the available disks.
Type select disk ? That you want and hit Enter
Type attributes disk clear readonly and hit Enter.
type exit
@@SnapshotTechTips Thanks for the reply, i tried it and it said: "DiskPart failed to clear disk attributes"
are you running the Diskpart application as an administrator?
@@SnapshotTechTips I believe so. At the top of the command prompt says Administrator: X:\windows\system32\cmd.exe. As soon as the laptops starts it asks me to put the recovery key, if i do so, it tries to load windows but gets to a point that gets frozen. If I do not enter the recovery key at the beginning, it takes me to the screen where I can click on troubleshoot and the rest. I refuse to believe that there is no way to format this laptop and reinstall windows. It's not your problem, but thank you for trying to help me
@@SnapshotTechTips Apparently there are two Key Protectors that I have on the laptop: Numerical Password and TPM
Sir password failed to unlock D:
How can i solve this type of problem
plz😥
how you want to decrypt the disk without password and recovery key ? its impossible
Okay, let's make it complicated. What if it was the C Drive that got locked, and you do not have any copies of your Bitlocker Recovery Key?
There are so many cases that the Bitlocker gets enabled for no reason, and users never backed up their Bitlocker key, do you have a solution to that?
It is a good question, Brother
Thanks for asking , when you got a new pc, installed all programs and ready to use, clone it or create system restore points immediately Never save any important files in bootable C drive.
@@SnapshotTechTips okay, let's say the user never done that? There was an update that made Bitlocker enabled even for WIndows 10/11 Home users which obviously does not have a Bitlocker feature but got enabled anyway.. how to solve that issue bro?
For an example samsung galaxy Tab Pro S
Turn on , Press F1 and F2 as the same time, until you can get into BIOS
2. Click BOOT Menu
3. Secure boot control Turn on
4. Fast Bios Mode Turn on
5. Select F10 and click on OK button to save the changes , and then it works
I entered bios by pressing F1 and F2 in my Dell Vostro laptop and it entered there.under boot there are nothing as u answered in this conversation. kindly help pls..
@@SnapshotTechTips kindly help with the same problem with my Dell Vostro laptop
what if error: 0x80070015 after -off C:
? :(((
The error code 0x80070015 usually means this "Device not ready".
manage-bde -status C:
You can try to decrypt the C: drive in Safe Mode.

Hi Pickel RBLX
If you use a standard usb flash drive without encryption, it must be visible there or else try to plug into a different usb port.

If your local disk C is pop up, then you haven’t turn on BitLocker, brother
