    Did you retype the longer bottom number again? You had a typo in your screenshot that would cause it to not work.

    yeah I did.. I've been trying to unlock it whole day.. that typo is due to is 1 o'clock in the morning at my place so I'm kind of tired all ready from doing this all day..

    tried again correct this time still got same problem... but bitlocker reported at the end of decrypting there was error on drive and I should run disk check or something like that.. and I don't know the command and I can't do nothing now when disk is locked

    Itachi,

    You could try either option in the tutorial below to run disk check on that drive to see if it will allow you to unlock it afterwards.

    Itachi,

    From your response here, it appears that your drive may be toast and may need to be formated to be restored.

    yeah I see it now too.. is there any way to bypass bitlocker so that I can save some of the data on the disk? it is related to my work and I don't have backup and that was one of the reason I protected the drive

    administrator rights?


    hey hows it goin guys, Im also getting the 'volume label syntax' error message, I think I know why I just dont know how to fix it, lock.bat needs to be run in administrator mode, but in properties the option is unselectable so I cant change it permanently, Im guessing this is because its a .bat file or something? I dont know much about computers I found this thread on google and registered just to ask this question so if anyone could help would be great, thanks
