    BSOD 0xc0000001 Bitlocker code not known


    I have a client that has a Microsoft Surface Pro. It has a BSOD error code 0xc0000001. I have tried many ways to repair but I am unable to since Bitlocker has locked the hard drive. The client swears they never activated it and does not know the code to unlock. They did not have a microsoft account so I cant go that route. Any suggestions to unlock hard drive without the bitlocker code?

    HELP: Automatic BitLocker Unlock.

    Thank you sir, ill try your solution.

    Windows Auto unlock ONLY works in case you have Bitlocker on your system drive, because if your system drive is not encrypted auto unlocking other drives means loss of security.
    But in my case my system drive is Encrypted with hardware encryption that i password unlock during boot. So auto unlocking Bitlocker drives will do fine for me.

    Unable to unlock USB drives encrypted/locked with Bitlocker To Go

    Hey All,

    Recently my company provided me with a Windows 10 SOE image as part of a UAT. The image includes Symantec Endpoint Encryption which utilizes Bitlocker for encryption.

    I went through all of the motions with the C:\ drive to be encrypted and even printed the recovery key. Well, at some point I plugged in a few My Passport USB drives and they became locked by Bitlocker To Go. Everytime I try to unlock or click on these drives it asks for the 48-bit key which I don't have because I never was prompted to encrypt/lock these drives.

    IT says that there are no keys stored on the servers for these USB drives and suggested that this would be a "local" encryption. However, they also stated that they wouldn't be encrypted unless I was prompted about it. So, there's this mystery about how these USB drives came to be locked.


    I've been doing some research and the closest I've come is getting some output about the protectors:
    Code:
    I've tried to copy the .bek file to another non-encrypted/locked USB but get:

    Code:
    I've tried all of the passwords (even blank) I have in an attempt to unlock the drive:

    Code:
    When I search my laptop by either the Numerical or External IDs, I get nothing even with hidden files enabled.

    Can anybody provide any recommendations here? I can always provide any additional info. Should I also post in the MS forums?

    There's so much data on these drives that I cannot loose.

    Regards, Jimmy
