Removed Bitlocker password - need recovery key
Hi, I removed the Bitlocker password simply by hitting "Remove Passoword" on the right-click menu on the disk in Computer. Now I need the recovery key, but since I formated the USB-drive I had stored the recovery key on I'm stuck.
Do I have to format my Bitlocked drive? |

Not sure whether this will help, but it may do: How to use the BitLocker Recovery Password Viewer for Active Directory Users and Computers tool to view recovery passwords for Windows Vista

If it doesn't help, you may well be faced with a format and reinstall.

Right-click "My Computer" > "Manage" > "Local Users and Groups" in the left-pane. But if you can crack your bitlocker without the key, let me know because my key is worthless then.
Certificate keys are like car keys. Keep a spare. |

I found a Windows-backup on one of my harddrives so all of my files are now back. But if you format the drive and then use recovery-software you probably have a chance to get some files out of it. If Bitlocker is that stupid.
