    Bit locker code not working with windows 10 Pro just purchased from Microsoft?

    I just purchased Windows 10 Pro upgrade from windows 10 home edition for Bit Locker.

    It let me put a password and encrypt an external hard drive.

    After restarting the computer, that External hard drive is locked, I saved the password both

    myself and sent it to my Microsoft account for backup.

    It just tells me the password is incorrect?

    :)

    Hi,

    We suggest doing the following steps again to resolve the issue. To complete the procedure, make sure that you have the following information:

    • You must be able to provide administrative credentials.

    • Click Start, click Control Panel, click
      System and Security, and then click BitLocker Drive Encryption.
    • Click Suspend Protection for the operating system drive.
    • A message is displayed, informing you that your data will not be protected while BitLocker is suspended and asking if you want to suspend BitLocker Drive Encryption.
    • Click Yes to continue and suspend BitLocker on the drive.

    Let us know how it goes.
