Windows 10: Account hacked, can't get my bitlocker key to unlock my hard drive

Hi,


Months ago I got my Microsoft account hacked, the same account used to register to my laptop (Dell Inspiron) running Windows 10. The computer stopped working just like that, my hard drive wasn't even recognize by my pc, I couldn't even refersh or reset it cause I needed my bitlocker key, and because my account was hacked, I couldn't get it. Infact, I recovered my account using a gmail adress, but no key was associated to the refreshed account. I had to change my hard drive then, while the Dell is still inside but blocked. I now would like to access my old files, but it keeps asking me for the bitlocker key. Is there anyway to get it back?


Thanks.

:)

 

How to disable bitlocker auto unlock when my windows account password was changed?

How to prevent auto unlocking drives from my laptop when my windows password changed? Hack or change my account password to much more easy than decrypt disk, but why windows doesn't provide such functionality from the box? I looking for any scripts to auto unlock from powershell also.

I'm not going to "just disable unblock". It's very useful thing. I have too many things which starts from encrypted volume. I want to prevent access to my volume only just getting my account. If my system administrator account could be hacked, all sensitive data would be lost.

Steps to reproduce:

1. Login into your account
   
2. Set up bitlocker, auto-unlock
   
3. Restart PC and login into account
   
4. Drive unlocked
   
5. Logout from account (I switched off whole PC)
   
6. Ask sysadmin to change your password to new one
   
7. Login into your account with new password
   

Expected result: bitlocker drive locked

Actual result: drive unlocked

 

BitLocker key cannot unlock the disk. Neither can i reinstall cause the drive is blocked

HELP: Automatic BitLocker Unlock.

Thank you sir, ill try your solution.

Windows Auto unlock ONLY works in case you have Bitlocker on your system drive, because if your system drive is not encrypted auto unlocking other drives means loss of security.
But in my case my system drive is Encrypted with hardware encryption that i password unlock during boot. So auto unlocking Bitlocker drives will do fine for me.
