Secure Your Data with BitLocker

BitLocker Overview

• The primary purpose of BitLocker is to provide full-volume encryption for operating system volumes and data volumes, protecting data from unauthorized access.

BitLocker Recovery Key

• A recovery key in BitLocker is a password that allows access to a BitLocker-protected drive in case the normal key is not available, such as when the TPM (Trusted Platform Module) is faulty or the user forgets their password.

Common Causes of BitLocker Issues

• Corruption or damage to the BitLocker metadata, preventing the operating system from properly reading the encrypted data.
• BIOS or UEFI firmware issues that prevent the system from accessing the TPM, which is required for BitLocker to function.
• Failure to properly save or store the recovery key, making it impossible to access the encrypted data in case of an issue.
