Hi,
When I purchased the laptop, by default, its device encryption is enabled.
And its drive has lock symbol. It means laptop’s drive is encrypted with BitLocker.
I read and heard, decrypting encrypted drive is not recommended and decrypting process take a lot of time.
In any scenario, BitLocker recovery key can be required.
To find BitLocker recovery key, I found the link https://account.microsoft.com/devices/recoverykey.
Please let me know,
- If no Microsoft account is linked, how to find BitLocker recovery key?
- If more than one Microsoft account is linked, from which account recovery key can be found?
- Initially the laptop was linked with a Microsoft account, then de-linked. In this scenario, how recovery key can be found?
- If don’t know which Microsoft account was linked or because of any reason the Microsoft account is not accessible, how recovery key can be found?
- By anyway, if recovery key can’t be found what can be done?
- In the link https://account.microsoft.com/devices/recoverykey. I found two Recovery key with Key ID, Recovery Key, Drive and Key update date. Please let me know, which should I use, what about OSV and FDV in Drive?
- Does Recovery key have any validity?
- If it’s deleted from the link https://account.microsoft.com/devices/recoverykey, how much time it takes for next key?
I request, please resolve my all above queries.
With Regards
