  Hi HaBiB JHoN,

  1. what operating system is installed on the computer?
  2. don't you make changes to the computer before the show?

  Method 1
  The best way to remove BitLocker on windows 7 32-bit is to follow the following steps.
  a. click on start
  b. click Control Panel
  c. whereas the Control Panel, find the Bitlocker Drive Encryption icon, click on it
  d. here you will see all the partitions on your hard disk and their encryption status, whether encrypted or not.
  e. that is encrypted, you will find an option to turn off bitlocker. Click on it and wait for the machine to decrypt.

  Method 2
  To prevent losing access to drives protected by BitLocker in case of failure of the TPM secure, forgotten passwords or loss of smart cards or USB keys, it is important that you have a way for administrators to access to BitLocker drives. BitLocker supports the following methods to retrieve access to protected drives:

  a. recovery key or recovery password. You can use a BitLocker recovery password or a recovery key. If a BitLocker key is not available, as in the case of a missing SmartCard or forgotten user password, a 48-digit recovery password can be used to unlock the protected drive. In place of a password, a recovery key which has been stored in a file on a removable media such as a USB flash drive, can also be used to unlock the protected drive.

  b. backup key in Active Directory Domain Services. Password recovering BitLocker can be stored in Active Directory Domain Services. This allows administrators, such as the personal assistant of office help users retrieve drives protected by BitLocker when they have forgotten or misplaced their recovery password.

  c. data recovery agent. A data recovery agent is the person designated as a system administrator, who can use his administrative credentials to unlock BitLocker-protected drives. BitLocker is not configured with the default data recovery agents, neither data recovery agents are enabled by default. They must be enabled and configured by using Group Policy.

• KB #930063 - error Bit Locker Drive preparation tool: "update does not apply to your system.

  I try to enable BitLocker on my laptop, and apparentlym my drive is misconfigured. I'm trying to get a copy of the drive preparation tool to help me, but I can't find a version compatible with Windws Vista Enterprise SP2. Knowledge Base article explains two ways to get the tool - windows update help and by following this link: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyId=320B9AA9-47E8-44F9-B8D0-4D7D6A75ADD0 - and none of these work.

  To the best of my knowledge, there is no such thing as an automated tool compatible with SP2, and I'm not 100% clear on what to do to prepare the drive manually. I've got 20 GB unallocated disk main HARD outside the system partition and the partition of storage, but I want to know what to do before you start fiddling around with it. I know that the BitLocker boot partition must have a size of at least 1500, and it should be active, but what files need to be on it so that BitLocker to run? What else do I need to do before I can activate BitLocker?

• Bit Locker can be installed on Windows 7 Starter Netbook?

  Hi, is it possible to install Bit Locker on my new Netbook Windows7 Starter?
  Thank you

  Full drive BitLocker is only available in full or Enterprise edition, I think.
   
  There is a good chance that bitlocker can challenge your hardware - check technical requirements carefully if you plan to do this - or - for any professional encryption mechanism.

• My Wd hard drive has been locked with Bit Locker and I don't have a password or recovery key. Please help me?

  MR PRESIDENT, I LOCKED UP MY HDD WD 320 GB WITH BIT LOCKER OF WINDOW 7. DUE TO SOME PROBLEMS, I CHANGED MY HARD DRIVE & FORMATTED OS WHERE I KEPT THE RECOVERY KEY. I COULDN'T REMEMBER MY PASSWORD AND RECOVERY KEY. I HAVE VALUABLE DATA in HDD. KINDLY HELP ME TO RECOVER DATA

  THANKING YOU.

  Sorry, the news is not good. Some time ago, you have chosen BitLocker because you want to protect your data against unauthorized access. If someone had told you that anyone can crack the encryption by asking a little help in this forum, would you have chosen BitLocker?

  BitLocker is as good as its reputation. Unless you followed best practices and created your own backdoor, your data is lost.

• bit locker is not decipher... :(

  Hello.. I ve used bit locker to lock drive but nw do not unlock.  I ve typed the correct password and recovery key does also not work... at the time of encryption my PC had been a power cut.

  Maybe one of these tools will fix the problem. If this isn't the case, you will need to get your files to your external backup. If you do not have an external backup, then you will need to consider this incident as an incentive to review your backup strategy.
