    Bitlocker passwords


    Hi,

    Is it possible to force users to change their Bitlocker passwords? We have some users using the same passwords but cannot find a way of forcing a change without physically doing it on each device. If we change complexity in GPO will this prompt users to change password?

    :)

    why doesn't my bitlocker make me type a password?

    Hi,

    I understand that you have issue with Bitlocker password. I will certainly assist you with this.

    Please provide us below details for better assistance,


    • Is your Bitlocker enabled on your system?

    • Have you made any changes on your system before this issue?

    Please follow these steps and check if that helps.

    Method 1: I suggest you to start the BitLocker Device Encryption service.

    Follow the below steps:

    1. Press Windows key + R from the Keyboard.

    2. Type services.msc and hit Enter.

    3. Search for BitLocker Device Encryption service.

    4. Double click on BitLocker Device Encryption service and click on Start button.

    5. Click on the dropdown list and set the Startup type to Automatic.

    If the issue persists then change the password and change the settings on how drive is unlocked at startup.

    bitlocker password?

    I have the Recovery Key but that is not the problem. I have no bitlocker password - not lost or forgotten; it was never created. Sounds like you're suggesting I turn off bitlocker and just turn on again.
