Find Bitlocker recovery Key - Thats what we are gonna see in our todays post.

Today, while i was having fun with my friend, he accidentally made a bitlocker encryption to one of

his drives. Since, we are in a group talking with each other,  he forget to note the recovery key.

He doesnt know what to do next ( Even me too) because the drive has some sensitive info, which we

required in next couple of days. Suddenly we begin to examine every  possible solution that we can

use to recover, but most of them went avail. If you are having the same issue, then here is an guide

that may help you.



Solution 1 : Try searching for recovery key.

Windows will prompt you to save your recovery key on a safe place, so check all your drives,plugin in your USB device or external device, chances are you may have transferred it to keep secure..

1) Hit Windows Key

2) Type Recovery key

3) It may pop up on the recovery key on our search result..

Solution 2 : In Microsoft Account

Windows will backup your Bitlocker key on your Microsoft account. So, search on your microsoft account, chances are it is backuped on your Microsoft Account.

Check the below link

http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/p/?LinkId=237614

Solution 3 : Your Admin

Since Microsoft follows the same method till now, we can see it to our Purpose...

Your PC will have Administrator right ? Ask his/her key and try it.. Trust me it will work if s/he doesnt changed his/her key.

Solution 4 : Using Powershell

This method is my favorite one..But it wont return result to everyone..

Since, Bitlocker is the one that safeguards our drive, try to get the recovery key using it..

{Its like person giving his/her home key to thief, thinking that thief wont steal anything, your PC will give it to you, thinking that its you are requesting the key..}

1) Open Powershell

[See : How to open powershell in Windows 10]

2) Type the following command

Get-BitlockerVolume -Mountpoint (your encrypted drives letter).KeyProtector

for example : if your locked drive was d, type (get-bitlockervolume -mountpoint d).Keyprotector

3) Hit enter,,

it wont work for sure, but give it a try chances are it may work for you.

(or) try Suspend-BitLocker -MountPoint "C:" -RebootCount 0

Replace "C:" with your drive letter

( or) Try this command

Enable-BitLockerAutoUnlock -MountPoint "c:"

Replace E with your drive letter..

The above command will enable auto unlock to your bitlocker, who knows it may work for you too.

Thats it...

If Everything fails...

try to remember every thing you did on that day.. It is possible to recover your data when you have

the memory capacity.

Dont be discouraged.. Sit alone, close your Eyes, try to remember some characters..

Note it down.. No problem whether it is one or two just write it down.

Now, look on your mind again..try to remember again, you will find another any two characters, note that too..

Note the place you think it was for example : the letters you remember may be your last 2  characters.

Just note that down too..

Open command prompt

Type the following command

manage -bde -unlock -certificate -ct  thatthingyouwrote -pin yourdriveletter :

Replace the appropriate values..

for example : Manage -bde -unlock -certificate -ct f4cd -pin F:

This is like we are instructing computer to look for certificate that starts with f4cd and unlock it..

2) Hit enter.

(or) Else try this..

Search for online how much a Bitlocker key will have maximum as its characters..

Write every possible combinations that may work and try that things on your Bitlocker.

Believe Our Mind is Much powerful than you think, because its our mind that designed this computers too.

We, as friends used this last method as our PC hadnt connected to internet on that time..,

 it worked..

So, dont be discouraged.

Just try it out..

How to i reinstall Windows 10 - Thats what we gonna see in this post.. If you have questions like

How do i reinstall Windows 10, how to do i reinstall Windows 10 when i have no windows 10

media, then here is an guide.

You can reinstall the windows 10 when your hard drive crash. or if you have any errors that happens

in the name of the DPC Watchdog violation or any Blue screen of death errors ..

Even though the Blue screen of death [BSOD] happens now, then (who knows it may be also forever )
for every simple reason like improper configuration, which means your hardware doesnt meet the

required hardware configuration to run Windows 10. Even though Microsoft Says, we can run

Windows 10 when our device runs Windows 8, but the truth is it depends on the System

configuration.

[See : What is the system requirements for Windows 10]

You need to install Windows 10 32 bit when you have only 2 gb of ram, as installing x64 bit version

of Windows 10 will occupy more ram.

{ Click to see : How to find the amount of RAM your PC has}

Even you have enough ram and enough System configuration sometimes it may introduce restart

loop or will spoil something after Update (Like it broke WebCams on Windows 10 Anniversary

Update}..

Whatever the cause you may end by reinstalling Windows 10. But, if you dont know how to do it..

then here is an tutorial.

reinstall windows 10...
