Windows 10: CHKDSK and Reboot Wants BitLocker pw - STUCK!

Bought a Crucial 2.5" SSD 1TB to replace the slow HHD 1TB Tried to clone the drive using Macrium Reflect free. It was all going well until errors occurred during the cloning process. I stopped the process and then started a chkdsk /f which I understood would find errors and fix them.The whole process was taking hours and the next thing I saw was the BitLocker Recovery asking for the recovery key for this drive.I never initiated BitLocker and therefore would not have a key.So now the machine will not boot up until the key it thinks it needs is provided.I'm stuck. I'm wondering if

Bitlocker Stuck Decrypting

For future reference, instead of using the TASK MANAGER to restart, you can simply hold CTRL + SHIFT and right click on blank space on the Task bar, to bring up 'Exit Explorer'.

Another option is to use software.

Bitlock PW does not work anymore

Hi there, first, I am German, not the most technical person and you are my last chance, to rescue some very important data. So excuses my English and thanks a lot for any attempt to help me.Here the problem: After connecting my HDD with a friend’s computer, it was automatically locked by Bitlocker. At first no Problem at all, because my friend could name me the PW his computer has given my HDD. This worked out well for 3-4 month. However, one day, I entered the PW and Bitlocker told me, that it is wrong. However, it was not. I copied it; I entered it manually... many, many, many times. It did never work. Of course, my friend looked again in his online PW list, if something changed, but it did not.What I find very interesting, if I enter the correct password, Bitlocker says it is wrong. If I change only one of the 48 numbers, it tells me, one number is wrong. If I change it back, its again totally wrong.Any ideas what might help? Would be great, if somebody has a solution. Otherwise, four TB of data are lost.Thanks’ a lot!
