    unlock bitlocked e drive with key not working

    Hi Jackson Wilkes,

    to recover your BitLocker key, you can try the following steps:



    1. Go to the Microsoft account website and sign in with the account that you used to encrypt the drive.

    2. Under the Devices tab, select the device that the drive was encrypted on.

    3. Look for the BitLocker recovery key for the E: drive. If you can't find it, try checking the other devices listed on your account.

    4. If you still can't find the recovery key, you can try using a BitLocker recovery tool to recover the key. Microsoft provides a tool called the BitLocker Recovery Password Viewer that can be used to view recovery passwords that are stored in Active Directory Domain Services (AD DS).

    For more information, you can see Finding your BitLocker recovery key in Windows - Microsoft Support.

    Kind regards,

    Lei
