  1. Bitlocker & Booting


    I have a Lenovo Notebook. Before it fell off of my dresser, broke the screen, I assigned a pin Windows Hello for a way to sign-in to Windows. I am unsure the reasoning but it will not load into the Windows OS so I can type the Windows Hello PIN, to access the BitLockered Drive. I suspect the boot files have been screwed. If anyone knows how I can use CMD, to have it unlocked, that'd be awesome. Thanks.

    :)

    Need to turn off Bitlocker to install Windows 10

    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.
    • The drive must be BitLocker-protected.
    To suspend BitLocker Drive Encryption on an operating system drive, please follow the steps below:

    • 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.
     
  3. Location is not available after Bitlocker?

    Im happy you resolved it, & without any help to boot *Toast :toast:

    C:/"Bitlocker" call uninstall *Laugh :laugh:
