Windows 10: BitLocker fails to unlock in Recovery CMD.

I use the "manage-bde -unlock C: -password" and i enter the bitlocker password let's assume this laptop's password is 1234565 then hit enter and i get the message that "Password failed to unlock drive". I am trying to make a script to do this procedure in many laptops so I don't want to have to use the Recovery Password since that would require mounting my usb, changing the .cmd file, commiting then unlocking the laptop. Is there something I am doing wrong when I get prompted to enter the BL password? Thank you everyone.

Unlock Bitlocker

Hello Imam Subhi,

since you never set up a BitLocker password or recovery key, the only way to unlock the drive is to use the recovery key that was generated when BitLocker was first enabled on the drive. To find your lost recovery key, you'll need to follow the steps in Finding your BitLocker recovery key in Windows - Microsoft Support.

Important:

• If you are unable to locate the BitLocker recovery key and can't revert any configuration change that might have caused it to be required, you’ll need to reset your device using one of the Windows recovery options. Resetting your device will remove all of your files.
  
• Microsoft support is unable to provide, or recreate, a lost BitLocker recovery key.
  

Hope it helps.

Best regards,

Lei

Hi Rick,

Please follow the suggestions below and check if you are able to boot to your desktop.

• Places to look for your BitLocker key:
  • On a printout you saved. Look in places you keep important papers.
    
  • Saved on a USB flash drive. Plug the USB flash drive into your locked PC and follow the instructions. If you saved the key as a text file on the flash drive, use a different computer to read the text file.
  • In your Microsoft account. To get your recovery key, go to
    BitLocker Recovery Keys.

• Or ask someone for help:
  • Ask someone with administrator privileges on the same PC to unlock it with their key.
  • If your PC is connected to a domain (usually a work or school computer), ask a system administrator for your recovery key
