    Cannot decrypt the disk encrypted by BitLocker

    While I was decrypting my disk that I had encrypted using BitLocker, the laptop suddenly shutdown and then I lost access to the disk. The system isn’t accepting my correct password and code. Windows 10 requires for credentials, thinks
    for a while and then closes without giving the access to my disk.

    I use Windows 10 pro. Help me please. I need to regain access to my disk as soon as possible because I have lots of important information there
