    bitlocker password?


    I am running the latest update of Win 10 Enterprise on an i7 laptop. I turned on Bitlocker and followed the prompts. At no time was I presented with a dialogue to enter a password. The harddrive was encrypted and the system shows bitlocker is on, but when restarting the computer there is no bitlocker password requested. On my previous computer I had to enter the bitlocker password and then login to Windows. Do I just need to try turning off/on again or has something changed in Windows update?

    :)
