    Problem starting computer with Bit Locker turned on

    Turned on Bit Locker on wife's desktop and had no problem encrypting the drives. Recently, when starting up computer, computer shows blue screen for entering password to Bit locker and immediately shuts down after entering only a few of the characters.
    This will go on 3 or 4 times before it stays on long enough to enter password and computer will then start up normally.

    I'm turning off Bit Locker until I can figure out where the problem lies.

    Computer is Dell Inspiron 3847 with quad core i5 processor. Using Windows 10 Pro, version 1607. Hard drives are two 2TB Seagate drives and a 4 TB Seagate backup drive. All updates are current.

    Any suggestions for clearing this problem will be greatly appreciated.

    Having to enter bit locker key everyday

    Hi,

    I realize that you are getting the bit locker prompt very often. I will try to help you with this issue.

    Suggest you to turn off the Bit Locker, restart the pc and then turn on the Bit Locker to check if that helps.

    To enable BitLocker, open the Control Panel and navigate to System and Security > BitLocker Drive Encryption. You can also open Windows Explorer or File Explorer, right-click a drive, and select Turn On BitLocker.

    Keep us informed to help you further.

  7. I have lost my bit locker key. And I do not see any way to recover it. What should I do?

    in Windows 10 Gaming
    I have lost my bit locker key. And I do not see any way to recover it. What should I do?: I do not have my bit locker key, maybe it was saved in someone else’s account, who first setup the laptop . And I have no idea, who or where that person is. I guess, I’m going to have to factory reset it. But, even if I factory reset it, how would I get my bit locker key?...
