    BitLocker Password Prompt Missing After Windows Crash: Seeking Help - Can't boot on...


    I am running Windows 10 PRO with all the latest updates installed. My system is set up with a single SSD drive that contains both the OS Windows 10 PRO and my data. This drive is encrypted using BitLocker.Yesterday, I encountered a 'Windows blue screen' or a computer crash, which caused the computer to stop prompting me for the BitLocker password during startup, as it normally does.Now, when I power on the computer, instead of asking for the BitLocker password, it displays the following message: 'Reboot and Select proper Boot device or Insert Boot Media in selected Boot device and press a ke

  2. BitLocker not requiring password at boot. (Without TPM)

    I've recently installed bitlocker on my computer. Although windows says my C: drive is encrypted; I am not asked for my decryption password when i boot the computer. I get put straight into the login screen. I've done the necessary steps to enable bitlocker without TPM but maybe i missed something. Help please.

    HELP: Automatic BitLocker Unlock.

    Please help,
    Looking for a way( script or maybe some unknown windows command or registry hack) to automatically unlock a non OS BitLocker encrypted drive on Log-In.

    My situation: Right now my OS SSD Samsung 840 Evo has a boot password, its not Bios option nor windows eDrive but the third one, the one you need 3rd party software to activate it, had to purchase EMBASSY Security Center to do it.
    No issues here, the OS drive is locked and encrypted.

    One of My HDD Drives is encrypted with Bitlocker, so every time my PC is booted, I need to enter windows log-in password and then open my computer and enter another password to unlock the drive.
    Whats worse is that unlike the SSD that needs unlock password only after full shutdown the Bitlocker needs it every log-in.

    Windows has an option to Automaticlly unlock all BitLocker drives on boot, BUT the issue here is that this official option only works if your OS drive is also BitLocker encrypted and then log-in password unlocks everything.

    Im looking for maybe a windows Script or some Hidden command to automatically unlock the BitLocker drive.

    Even if it Sounds insecure like having the actual password somewhere in the registry, text file or script I dont care because the OS drive is encrypted and passworded.
    Also I have a TPM chip I can encrypt any file/folder so even if file is copied from my PC when its fully unlocked the files wont be readable anywhere unless unencrypted before.

    If its important im on 8.1 pro 64bit

    P.S. If there is no solution for my problem then my only choice is when windows 10 comes out to do a clean install on another Samsung 840 Evo that was previously cleared and eDrive option enabled


    Thanks in advance.

    Have Bitlocker Prompt for Password on Non-System Drive


    Here is how I was able to get the system to prompt me for the BitLocker password each time I logged on.

    My system has 2 drives one for the OS which is not encrypted with BitLocker and a DATA drive that is fully encrypted with BitLocker. What I wanted was for the system to prompt me for the password each time I booted the system and logged in. Here are the steps that allow this to happen.

    1) Create a file in your Windows\System32 folder called UNLOCK.CMD using notepad with these lines in it
    @Echo off & cls
    echo .
    manage-bde.exe -unlock -password D:

    2) Create a Task Scheduler that uses the Trigger "At log on".
    On the General Tab make sure to check "Run wit highest privileges"
    Action "Start a Program"
    Browse to C:\Windows\System32 and select Unlock.CMD

    3) Now Restart your system and a DOS window should popup asking for the password.

    Hope this helps others.
