    No wifi access after Bitlocker lock.


    Hello, my computer locked into bitlocker mode, I had my key handy and entered it in. However, after logging back into my laptop; internet access and Bluetooth access are both unusable. It looks as the only way I can access the internet is to use an Ethernet cable, and I don’t have an Ethernet cable handy. Is there a fix for this?

    :)

    Bitlocker frequently locking computers

    Thanks for your reply. Unfortunately these suggestions don't really fit our needs. We want to use BitLocker and don't want to disable it. The problem we have is that it locks some of our computers from time to time. Ideally we will make use of BitLocker but not have it blocking our computers.

    I have tried:

    1. Turning off BitLocker
    2. Installing all Driver and Windows Updates
    3. Turning BitLocker back on again
    Maybe this will help. We will wait and see.

    Bitlocker

    Hello Nandana,

    To enable BitLocker on your computer, you follow the steps below:

    • Sign in to your Windows account with an administrator access.
    • Press the Windows key.
    • Type and enter BitLocker.
    • Click Turn on BitLocker.
    • If the system is asking to sing in to administrator access, please do so.
    For additional information about BitLocker, we suggest that you check the frequently ask question on this
    link. The link provided applies to Windows 8.1 to higher version.

    If you have other concerns, don't hesitate to reach us.

    No wifi access after Bitlocker lock.

    Turn of Bitlocker

    I have an external USB drive encrypted with Bit locker

    Was able to access it just fine with the password

    Choose the “turn off BitLocker” option

    It went through the steps of decrypting

    The drive disappeared from the file manager when it returned it was still locked and the password I used prior no longer works from the command line. It says I have the wrong password

    If I choose "Unlock Drive" from windows OS I get "The BitLocker Encryption on This Drive isn't Compatible with Your Version of Windows try a newer version"

    • I have tried on three machines and still no luck
