    Bitlocker - Pre Boot Password - alpha, numeric, special characters


    I am only able to setup Bitlocker to use a numeric PIN for pre boot authentication.


    How can I setup Bitlocker to require a password using alpha, numeric, special characters for pre boot authentication?

    :)

  2. Special character in password

    Dear Dex Ong,



    I understand that you have a question about special characters in password.



    This behavior is by design. To be honest I am not aware of the reasons that Microsoft has chosen to block special characters from passwords.



    I will make a research on this issue and I will let you know as soon as I have an answer.



    Kind regards,





    *Update: Dex Ong, I would suggest to ask this question on a Live account forum because settings for passwords is not under Windows Phone settings.

  3. Bitlocker recovery key prompt my alpha keys not working

    Being prompted for Bitlocker key which I do not have. There is one being displayed on my screen which has alpha characters, for some reason only my numerics work on my keyboard. Very frustrating

    Bitlocker - Pre Boot Password - alpha, numeric, special characters

    Special character in password

    I have set my password to a stronger password that includes letters, numbers and special characters.
    I changed it from the outlook.com accounts page.

    However, my windows phone has problems sync-ing. I tried to enter the password many times and it keeps stating my password is incorrect.
    I tried the web version and I am able to log-in.

    I read from the http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2432933?wa=wsignin1.0 that if my password contains special characters, I would have to change.
    I do not mind changing it to just letters and numbers but I have a question, why does windows phone outlook not accept passwords that contain special characters??? This should be allowed for all Microsoft services including Windows Phone.
