Help to Decrypt the "D" Drive without recovery Key

Team,

I am writing to you to check to get a possible resolution on an existing case with Microsoft O365 & Windows Tech Team. I am not getting a possible solution. Hence, I am writing here to check if anyone in the broader arena can help me to come out from this
difficult situation.



Let me summarize the issue here:

• My system no boot issue started on 16th of Aug’2020 when an Office 365 Tech Team member trying to help me with the upgradation of E1 to E3 and in the process he deleted some registry files.
• System got irresponsive and on force restart, the system showing an error Stop Code: Critical Process Died.
• Please note that Office 365 Tech Team member not taken the back up of my registry before did the Registry Edits. This major software changes triggers the bit locker
  
• Further many trouble shoots were tried by various Office 365 Tech Team members.
• With the help of Office 365 Tech Team member, we talk to Windows Tech Team and they suggested to perform the BIOS downgrade to solve this issue.
• I contacted Dell and perform BIOS downgrade (downgraded BIOS to 2.6.1.) on 23rd August 2020. Still system shows the error Stop Code: Critical Process Died.
• Further, connected in conference with Office 365 Tech Team, Windows Tech Team and Dell Tech Team. No solution to bring back to the boot situation. Finally decided to re-install the Operating System.
• Reinstallation was successful deleting my complete data in the C Drive.
• When trying to access the "D" drive, it's showing encrypted.
• When clicking the “D” Drive, its asking for Recovery Key. We don’t have the key.
  
• Screen showing “No Bit Locker Key” found under the Device Management of Microsoft. To recover the bitlocker key, tried with basic CMDs on bitlocker which is not supporting & proceeded with Intune MDM to recover the key. So went ahead & created, assigned
  the trial EMS license. Implemented Intune to O365 tenant and enrolled the laptop for Intune. Enrolment is successful but no key recovered from device management since the response found as "No Bitlocker Recovery Key Found for this Device".
  

Now anyone has a solution for me? Can anyhow help me to access my "D" Drive?

Thanks & Regards,

Bitlocker Recovery Key is not matching Error while recovering SSD data externally

Hello Mustafajarman,

thank you for posting on the Microsoft Community Forums.

If you have the BitLocker recovery key and the Key ID, but you are facing the issue of the key not matching, there are a few steps you can take to make sure you are entering the correct key and resolving the issue:



. Steps to Verify and Enter the Correct BitLocker Recovery Key:



1. Cross-Check the Key ID:

- When prompted to enter the BitLocker recovery key, the system usually displays a Key ID.

- Ensure that the Key ID displayed by the system matches exactly with the Key ID associated with the BitLocker recovery key you have.



2. Double-Check the Recovery Key:

- Ensure that you are entering the 48-digit BitLocker recovery key correctly.

- Double-check for any typos or missed characters. The recovery key is typically divided into eight groups of six digits.



3. Use Manage-bde Tool Properly:

- Since you have the SSD connected to another computer, you can use the "manage-bde" tool to unlock the drive.

- Open Command Prompt as an administrator on the computer where the SSD is connected.

- Use the following command to unlock the drive (assuming the SSD is mounted as D:

- Replace "YOUR-RECOVERY-KEY-HERE" with the actual 48-digit recovery key.



4. Check for Typos in the Command:

- Ensure there are no typos in your command and that the drive letter (D: in the example) matches the letter assigned to the SSD when connected to the second computer.



Ⅱ. Example:

If your SSD is mounted as drive "E:" and your recovery key is "123456-789012-345678-901234-567890-123456-789012-345678", you would use the command:

Ⅲ. Additional Steps:



1. Verify Drive Letter:

- Open File Explorer on the secondary computer and confirm the drive letter assigned to the SSD. Ensure you're using the correct drive letter in the command.



2. Check Alternative Recovery Keys:

- If you have created multiple recovery keys, try using a different one.



3. Check for Updates:

- Ensure the secondary computer has the latest updates installed, especially related to BitLocker and encryption. Sometimes, system updates can resolve compatibility issues.



Ⅳ. If Issues Persist:



- Use BitLocker Repair Tool:

- If you are still unable to unlock the drive, you may consider using the BitLocker Repair Tool to recover data from a corrupted drive. This tool is more advanced and should be used with caution:

- Replace "E:" with the SSD drive letter and "F:" with the drive letter of a destination drive where you want to save the recovered data.

Hope it helps.

Kind regards,

Lei
