I cannot get into any repair tool to try and diagnose this issue as windows sees this drive as "a working bitlocked HD" I honestly dont know what else to do here, there is a LOT of data on there i want to keep, and i have no way of accessing it. Tried on my laptop through external again, still freezes. Took HD out of shell, put internally into pc, booted into windows, tried typing password in again, frozen once again. External drive status light says that the drive is being accessed constantly so i let it go overnight, woke up, still frozen. Slowly typed the correct password in, and as soon as i hit enter it freezes the window. Windows 7 BitLocker to Go is an easy to use and provides a covering security for the users' files not only protecting files on computer disks but also securing by encrypting files on removable devices like SD Cards, flash disks, etc. Luckily, there is a way to recover BitLocker, if you have the recovery key. These result from changing BIOS/UEFI settings, replacing hardware components, malfunctioning hardware, forgetting your BitLocker password, or entering your password incorrectly too many times. typed the password in incorrectly by mistake, told me it was wrong. Windows 7 has new improvements and add on enhancements on Windows BitLocker windows disk encryption tool. BitLocker, as a drive encryption service, occasionally experiences lockouts. Bitlocker took a REALLY long time to encrypt it, i honestly dont remember seeing the "completed" dialog. Went to access the drive, bitlocker popped up and asked for the password. I wanted to encrypt my external 1tb sata > usb drive. motherboard apparently is not TPM compliant. To open the Group Policy Editor, press Windows+R, type “gpedit.msc” into the Run dialog, and press Enter.Alright, decided to try bitlocker on the windrc build.
This requires a Group Policy settings change. Once you’ve enabled BitLocker, you’ll need to go out of your way to enable a PIN with it. Step Two: Enable the Startup PIN in Group Policy Editor If you have a Home version of Windows, you won’t be able to use BitLocker. You may have the Device Encryption feature instead, but this works differently from BitLocker and doesn’t allow you to provide a startup key. The below steps are only necessary when enabling BitLocker on computers with TPMs, which most modern computers have.
Note that, if you go out of your way to enable BitLocker on a computer without a TPM, you’ll be prompted to create a startup password that’s used instead of the TPM. Before you can set a PIN, you have to enable BitLocker for your system drive. This is only available on Professional and Enterprise editions of Windows. This is a BitLocker feature, so you have to use BitLocker encryption to set a pre-boot PIN. RELATED: How to Set Up BitLocker Encryption on Windows Step One: Enable BitLocker (If You Haven’t Already)
