    Failed to unlock with this recovery key


    Laptop: Asus Rog G14, good conditionMy laptop started crahsing bsod more often than it used to, about 2 weeks ago. I didn't think of much and continued to use it. 2 days ago it got really bad and today upon launch it gives me the 'unmountable boot volume' stop code. All troubleshooting options that are given to me I have to enter the recovery key for. After entering the right one it gives me a message saying 'Failed to unlock with this recovery key'. What is the problem, how do I reset windows?

    :)

  2. Windows BitLocker Recovery Key Not Working (Failed to unlock with this recovery key)

    We have a system with BitLocker Enabled. The system requested a recovery key and we entered the correct 48-digit recovery password based on the provided Recovery Key ID. However, after entering the recovery key, it says "Failed to unlock with this recovery key" may I know how to solve the issue and how we get the file on the disk if the recovery is not working?

    Windows Startup recovery "Failed to unlock with this recovery key"

    Hi. My laptop was booting directly to UEFI after a Windows update since it couldn't find the OS. I have a bootable USB that I am trying to use to repair with. The computer's only internal storage is an SSD which has BitLocker. I have found and entered the
    correct key, but, after a few seconds of trying to unlock the drive, I get the error `Failed to unlock with this recovery key`.

    The bootable USB contains Windows 10 home which was freshly installed onto my USB drive a few hours ago using Microsoft's Installation Media Tool.

    And yes, I have triple checked and reentered the recovery key. No, I'm not entering the key ID; I'm entering the 48 digit recovery key from my Microsoft account which I matched to the ID so that I know I'm entering the correct one.

  4. Failed to unlock with this recovery key

    Entering correct BitLocker recovery key results in 'Failed to unlock with this recovery key'

    My recovery codes are stored with Microsoft, and I got my other four installed drives recovered perfectly the first time through, but my operating system drive (CFailed to unlock with this recovery key :) is not able to recognize the correct recovery key.

    I can see the code, enter the code, but sadly receive 'Failed to unlock with this recovery key'. Again, I had four successes with other drives - it's just this one - and happens to be my C:, which stops everything else and won't let Windows run, nor even
    repair/restore itself in Bitlocker (Factory Reset fails with error code 0x80070057).

    Anyone else run into this?
