Cannot remove the bitlocker encryption

I added a password for bitlocker on an external hard drive usb, now I want to remove this password, so I click on the drive, select "Manage Bitlocker", then click on 'Remove the password of this player' and get a message "this password is the only way to unlock this drive.  Add another method to unlock before removing the password".   do a google search for this phrase bugs me only 6 hits, with bing only 3.  most are not English, but it seems that not many people have this problem, what is special about my situation?  7 Vista Ultimate, computer laptop Dell M1530, no TPM, bitlocker no chip anywhere else, I decided to try for the first time on an external drive.  I can still copy on my 50 GB of files and reformat the hard disk, but it has got to be a way to remove it.

solved by going into Control Panel and was able to remove the encryption here.  That is not very well planned, I enabled Bitlocker in a context menu in Explorer, I should be able to turn off in the same way, do not receive these strange error messages.

  • error message "Windows cannot remove the password. "Password policy or account require the account has a password.

    original title: remove administrator account or remove password

    I am trying to remove a user administrator account or remove the password and I get the error message below. Also, I can't delete the password as an administrator in Windows 7 32 bit or delete the account. I get this error message "Windows cannot remove the password.

    Someone has put a policy on your machine to enforce some rules for passwords. Best is to ask that person to change these rules for you. Alternatively, you can run gpedit.msc, then follow this path to edit yourself: Local computer policy / Computer Configuration / Windows settings / security settings / account policy / password policy.

    Note also that:
    -You cannot delete the built-in Administrator account.
    -Administrator with a blank password accounts is a big security risk.

  • Windows 7, cannot remove the burn files after back to the top

    I have a 64 bit Windows 7 laptop. A year ago I started a return upwards to put on a disc. The backup failed at the time because I ran out of records to put on (had no idea that it would take as much!).

    Since then I tried to delete these temporary burn files from the F drive, but every time I click on the option, it breaks down and wrote files are used by another program. I went through and individually deleted most of them, but I still have a few huge to get the judgment and cannot remove the program (86), or on the desktop to the top, mean that they are used by another program.

    I burned a CD of all these left during the backup of files and that worked, but the files are still sitting in my drive F, I still can't delete the temporary versions... its taking a lot of space and I got the bsod a couple of times.

    I also tried folder in the start menu and delete the temporary files in this way, but it did not result in the F drive.

    I tried to rename the temporary files so that I could remove them too, but not to chance it.

    I have disc clean up all the time, this doesn't always help with the F drive.

    Your opinion would be appreciated!

    See you soon

    If you want just a report of chkdsk on your C partition select Start, run, type "cmd" without the quotes in the box and press ENTER. Type chkdsk, and then press the ENTER key and a report, stating, among other things, a summary of how disk space is used, is provided. If you want a report on a partition or one drive other than C, you need to go to this partition. To access F, where F is the required partition you type F: and press the ENTER key.

    Copies of the reports from a command prompt can be tricky. Right click and select mark. This allows to highlight the selected text, and then click on copy. You will then open Word, Notepad or similar file, right click and paste. The selected text transfers your Clipboard to open the file. You can paste directly into a response message to the majority of the forums.

  • Cannot remove the ghost folder. Error message: there is no such mailbox

    When I configure Thunderbird to connect to my Alpine Webmail, I had to rearrange my folders. Cannot remove a folder titled "mail" because according to TB "there is no such mailbox" but still shows on the tab my folders. I read through the previous discussions and have tried to unsubscribe the ghost folder, but that did not work or the other. I have a Mac OSX if this affects what it is. Please let me know if you have any suggestions. Thank you.

    Hello world. I solved the problem... somehow. By removing the account of Treasury Board and put in place again, TB has been able to sync with the files that were on Alpine. The ghost folder still presented (despite not existing not not on the Alpine site), but by changing the directory to the IMAP server of "mail" to "mailbox" the ghost folder disappeared. I found myself with records who have been named oddly (most likely due to the change of the name of directory) so when I changed the IMAP server directory to "mail" it reset my files with the way they were, with the exception of the ghost folder, that was no longer there. I'm not entirely sure why it worked, but in case someone else has a similar problem, I recommend to give it a try.

    Thank you all for your comments and help.

  • Cannot remove the old user account (admin)

    I'm on a MacBook Pro 15 "the retina with OS X Yosemite 10.10.5.

    I have two admin accounts, an 'old' I do not use and a more current that I use.

    I want to delete the 'old' admin account, but I get an error message: "cannot delete user... account error backup in the home folder for this user."

    Here are the steps I followed:

    1. System Preferences-> users and groups

    2. click on unlock icon; authentication with username and password

    3. click on the 'old' user account and click on the button "-" to remove it.

    4. Select the option "save the home folder in a disk image", then click on remove the user

    5. for the moment, he says 'delete account '.

    6 then I get the error message.

    I know that I could choose the second option (in step 4), but I really want to move the old files of the user users users/Deleted.

    Any advice or ideas would be greatly appreciated

    The first thing that comes to mind is the following: is there enough room for the disc to be created image and put in files? The files are not moved from the reader to the disk image, they are copied. Then for a time in the account to be deleted files will be on the computer two times. The second thing that comes to mind is that there is a directory of the hard drive problem. If you do not have enough space and is my first problem, start the recovery partition and use the directory of disk to repair the drive. And the third thing that might be the cause of the problem is a bad file that cannot be copied to the disk image. It will be difficult to understand because basically, you will need to open each file to find the one that is perhaps incorrect.

  • Cannot remove the Mega-Backup-get error message

    When you try to remove MegaBackup I get message "Cannot open the application"MegaBackup"because it may be damaged or incomplete."

    "MegaBackup" is an application of unworthy of trust-storage cloud or perhaps real malware. I have not tried to make this distinction. To remove it, please start back up all the data (not with the MegaBackup himself, of course). Then take the steps below.

    1 Select the elements of the connection tab in the users pane and groups of system preferences. Remove all elements with a name starting in 'MegaBackup '.

    2 log off or restart the computer.

    3. slide the MegaBackup application in the Applications to the trash and empty folder.

    Note that you cannot delete any application trying to drag its icon from the LaunchPad or the Dock. You must open the Applications folder in the Finder.

    You may have installed ad-injection with MegaBackup malware. If you don't see unaccustomed pop-up in a web browser, ask for additional instructions.

  • Cannot remove the XP user account

    This is a limited account that I need is no longer. I already deleted the password. Everything else works fine. I use a good antivirus and scan for viruses and spyware regularly. I'm the only user on the computer, so I don't know what could be the problem. I have no other problems at all. However, when I log on as an administrator and try to delete this unused account my computer just hangs. I get an error message "not responding". I get the same result if I choose "keep files" or delete files. I deleted the unused accounts of my computer before without problem. Anyone know what I am doing wrong?

    Try to remove the user from the register under the list of profiles using regedit.
    HKLM\Software\Microsoft\WindowsNT\CurrentVersion\ProfileList\SID >

    Change the settings of the REGISTRY can cause serious problems that may prevent your computer from starting properly. Microsoft cannot guarantee that problems resulting from the REGISTRY settings configuration can be solved. Changes to these settings are at your own risk...

  • Vista Business 64 running Lightroom 2.0 cannot remove the FreeAgent Go USB external disk images

    I use an external drive FreeAgent Go USB for image storage. I have a XP machine who has no problem using Adobe Lightroom 2.0 for the deletion of images in the reader.  When I use my laptop with Vista Business 64 and run the same scenario with Lightroom to remove images, I don't want to, I get an error that does not allow me to delete.  I can download them to the desktop from the laptop and I'll be able to delete them then, but not directly from the external hard drive.  Is there a way I can do this using my Vista based computer laptop, or what I always switch the drive to my XP to achieve?  Thanks for your help.

    This error message only your getting EXACTLY (Word for Word)?  Have you checked the Vista Compatibility Center to make sure that Lightroom 2.0 and the FReeAgent Go USB drive are compatible with 64-bit Vista http://www.microsoft.com/windows/compatibility/windows-vista/Search.aspx?type=Hardware&s=FreeAgnet%20Go&page=2.  I could find several FreeAgent Go drives (I'm not sure you have) and all I saw were compatible, but I couldn't find Lightroom 2.0 (so maybe that's the problem - simply because that isn't on the list doesn't mean it is not compatible - only that is has not been tested and that often means it can be a problem).

    Have your tried using the standard Windows Explorer to erase the images of the player?  That work, or is it a problem there too?  If Windows Explorer cannot delete images, then try to use one of the following free products to remove the file/folder.  Unlocker to: http://www.softpedia.com/get/System/System-Miscellaneous/Unlocker.shtml or file Assassin http://www.malwarebytes.org/fileassassin.php (with or without forcing the deletion: http://www.mydigitallife.info/2008/12/27/force-delete-cannot-delete-locked-or-in-used-files-or-folders-with-fileassassin/). These programs often work when normal functions remove Vista not work correctly.  I know you prefer to use Lifghtroom, but I am trying to determine if it is possible that the Vista computer delete files from the external HARD drive without using Lightroom to see if the problem is with Vista or Lightroom.

    I hope this helps.  Let me know how it goes and what these error messages.

    Good luck!
