Recover Data from BitLocker Encrypted Drive: Pune Guide
Encryption like BitLocker adds a layer of complexity to data recovery. If the underlying drive has bad sectors, the encryption header might get corrupted, locking you out of your files.
1. Where to find your Recovery Key
Check your Microsoft account link, your printouts, or your company's Active Directory. Without the 48-digit key or the .bek file, recovery depends on repairing the drive to a state where the key can be accepted.
