Bitlocker stopping windows password reset

[lan101]

So, did you re-enable device encryption afterward? I certainly wouldn't have, particularly with a local-only Windows account. Just curious.

Yeah they are supposed to have it encrypted since it's used for some financial login websites etc. Part of a state audit thing so if it's not encrypted they supposedly could get in trouble for it. So yeah re-enabled it and got new key saved to a external drive, a usb drive, and a printed copy or 2 for them...so hopefully between all that it's there. I also saved a copy on the invoice just in case lol.

Is there a way to use that -disable command io

If it's got a boot pin, you'll have to do something like this too: manage-bde -protectors -disable c:

I cannot boot from the ssd in the original system for some reason? So how would one do it from an external I tried though stated
"ERROR: The operation cannot be performed because the volume is locked."

manage-bde –unlock X: -RecoveryPassword XXXXXX-XXXXXX-XXXXXX-XXXXXX-XXXXXX-XXXXXX-XXXXXX-XXXXXX.

You have to unlock it first.

Unlocking is the problem.

Unlocking is the problem.

Meaning what? You don't have the recovery key or it won't unlock with the recovery key?

No Recovery Key as users MSA account is blocked and does not know password, so I think he is SOL as I told him - not in those terms though.
