Windows 10: Bitlocker has completed ruined my C drive so now I can not boot to windows. :/

So I recently enabled BitLocker on my desktop computer that is running Windows 10 Pro and today I tried to turn on my computer and it showed me the BitLocker password place to enter, I don't know what it's called so that's what it is going to be called today LMAO! So I was thinking to myself "Oh yeah no big deal." so I go to enter my password and then it did not type anything. So I typed it again, still nothing so now I start to go into panic mode. Because I have LOTS of valuable data on my hard drive and your telling me I cant type my password for BitLocker! I am using a wireless keyboard and now at this point I know does not work so I tried using a wired keyboard and that did not work. So I rebooted my computer and then tried and then sadly that did not work. And sadly that did not work for some reason. And I'm broke so I can't afford a new hard drive so thanks Microsoft. I honestly with they were to put a big huge warning right in front of your face when you try to turn on BitLocker that says something like do not use on desktop computers as it may risk data loss or something like that.

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.

 

Windows 8.1 PRO unable to unlock Bitlocked drive

Can you take a screen shot of the bitlocker window?

Also, what happens when you highlight the drive in This PC and go to the Manage tab? There should be some bitlocker options there.

 

Location is not available after Bitlocker?

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

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