    Bitlocker not asking for password set up

    I have the same problem as David with bitlocker set-up not asking me for a password. Following the instructions in the article suggested by Jennifer does not help as it assumes that I will be prompted to enter a password - the set up skips that step going
    straight to the options for saving the recovery key. Once (supposedly) encrypted, I can restart my computer without having to enter anything apart from my microsoft password so I do not have any additional security at all.

    Bitlocker not asking for password?

    I have a Windows 10 PC (upgraded from Win 8.1) with Bitlocker enabled. The PC has no TPM, so it asks for a long password at every boot.
    Since today, this doesn't work anymore. It boots into the BitLocker screen where normally I have to enter the password, but the whole screen is blank. It is just a blank blue screen without the input field for the password and the text. Pressing Insert does nothing (this should change the password from little dots to the actual characters usually).
    If I press Esc, I am asked for the Bitlocker recovery key and after entering it, I get the usual recovery options.

    I was able to get the PC to work again by starting a console from this recovery options and running manage-bde -protectors -disable e:. This disables the password request on boot and the PC boots. Bitlocker is still active on all drives, just the key is stored unencrypted.

    While I can use the PC now, this is obviously not a permanent solution. Is this a known problem? Any solution to that?

    Is there maybe a way to force Windows to recreate this bootmanager/decryption thing where the Bitlocker Password is input?

    Password issue

    After going through the steps to make a new password, after a week or two, my login credentials are no longer valid. I'm forced to make a new password all over again. It seems to happen if I don't login in a certain period of time. Does our passwords expire???
