  1. BitLocker: Can't use Recovery Key or Password


    A friend using Win 10 Pro emailed me saying

    "I’ve managed to lock myself out of my data drive having encrypted it with bit locker. Now it does not recognise my password and will not let me type in the Recovery key (cannot get letters to type in)".

    He has a C drive for OS and Applications, and D for data. As I don't use BitLocker, I don't have any solutions and Googling doesn't seem to help much.

    Would he be able to access his data drive if he resets his PC?

    :)
