Remove bit locker

Suggestions

Recovery options

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:

  • Recovery password or recovery key. 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.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • Can I remove Activation lock if previous owner removed iCloud?

    Therefore a person of work due to their iCloud connected to their work email account. They no longer work for the company and to reach out, I asked them to remove the iPhone 5 iCloud account. They said that they did not see that, he proceeded to remove their iCloud account.

    Large.

    Should I even bother setting up another account iCloud with the same email address (as we can make it through the COMPUTER service) to see if that will allow you to get rid of this lock to activate?

    Someone had something like this happen to them?

    Thanks in advance.

    Should I even bother setting up another account iCloud with the same email address (as we can make it through the COMPUTER service) to see if that will allow you to get rid of this lock to activate?

    You will not be able to do, because this Apple ID already exists.

    They have also no the ability to "remove their iCloud account.

    You could try to reset the password for the Apple ID if a) you know the answers for the employee for the questions of security, or b) that it will help you reset the Apple ID password.

    If you bought the device and can provide this evidence to Apple, they may be able to remove the lock of activation.

  • Is there a way to remove the lock on the iPhone 6 s screen more?

    I am new to iPhone and now bought 6 s more. I want the phone to wake up and turn on my home screen, not a lock screen. Is it possible (as there was in Android) to remove the lock completely screen?

    Go to settings and disable the password... but that would be a wise thing to do in the event you lose your phone, then your data are for the taking.

    Also you can not disable the password, if you have a corporate email account on your phone.

  • 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?

    I suggest that you try to recover the bit locker drive on another computer with a volume protected by BitLocker on the drive to diagnose the problem.

    When you unlock the BitLocker active hard disk on the other computer, the operation only available authentication shall be resumed. The drive appears in the element of the BitLocker control panel with an option to unlock the volume using the password or the recovery key.

  • 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.
