Bitlocker Protectors

January 25th, 2022, 5:27

I have got several hard disks from one of my customer.
Suddenly Bitlocker partition is getting appeared though customers IT dept said they have not enabled it. Actual user is not even aware of what is Bitlocker.
I am aware that newer windows 10 laptops are having Bitlocker enabled by default but no key protectors are there .
I was able to recover data without key from one of the hard disk from same customer.
But this time without blank key is not accepted.
Is there anyway to decrypt volume ? Is this no key decryption better implemented in DE ? I don't have updated DE.
Other partition C drive in one case is accessible (having access to hibernet and page file) Disk is having bad sectors and windows is unable to load.

Thanks DR-kiev
Yes you are right. Since this is corporate laptop no other app /email is allowed than company domain.So getting key from microosft account is not possible.

Possible, if he is real owner and his company has no objections. Recovery key stored in Microsoft Azure account.

hi Dr-kiev
As I mentioned this is not personal laptop , its company owned. Its been allocated to him.
Anyway I have been able to recover data from particularly this type of protectors.
Thanks for your help.
