    Changing the BitLocker Recovery Key on an Already Encrypted OS drive?


    Is there a way I can change the BitLocker recovery key to a new one on my encrypted OS drive?

    Do I need to first Suspend BitLocker to do so?

    Is there a tutorial on this here?

    Thanks

    :)

    Unlock Bit locker

    Bitlocker encrypted drives are tied to the OS. When you re-installed the OS you broke that. If the passcode nor the recovery key works the data is forever gone.

    Bitlocker

    I encrypted my whole system in Windows 10 OS, with bitlocker, I then changed the bitlocker password and rebooted my pc. When the screen to enter the bitlocker password popped up I entered the new password that I have changed to, but it kept saying incorrect
    password. The problem is I don't have the recovery key, and I might only have a copy of my recovery folder stored in my drive which I have no access to as of right now.

    Any suggestions

    Decrypt the drive, then encrypt again.
