  1. Unable to change BitLocker password


    Hi everyone,


    I am using Windows 10 Pro with an admin user connected to my Office 365 I am logging in using my email, which is not Microsoft email.


    BitLocker is enabled by default, but I do not see the option to change the BL password, nor do I see the option to ask for password upon boot.


    Can you please help?


    Thank you,

    Igor

    :)
