    BitLocker has locked a hard drive from an old PC by itself


    A few other ago I managed to salvage an old hard drive from a PC Win 11 that was flood damaged. I plugged it into the new PC also 11 OS, and it worked fine for weeks. Today, when I booted the PC up, BitLocker has locked the drive without any reason.I didn't even know what BitLocker was until it locked me out of the drive. I fear that there may be no way to recover the drive, any advice would be hugely appreciated!
