Otherwise all would be lost from a purposefully installed ransomeware, that someone in serving might have the 48 digit key or not. Only saving grace if we can get the computer fixed is we had backed up the data. But were not aware of a fix on Lenovo computers. The also said on some computers there was an Alt Boot key that might restart some computers. I assume that if I had bought Windows Professional, it would come with GIANT warning lable about Bitlocker, since if you do not keep a copy of the 48 digit number, you are toast.Īpparently Microsoft worked with Dell and have corrected issues there the told me. They could only do that since when they set up the computer, they kept a copy of everyones. Since was a corporate PC, we could call them up, provide the 6 digit code and they could retrieve the 48 digit number.

I have found out from our Corp systems people (10,000+ employees) that used or corprate use, and new window 10 has Bit locked one of my persons computer twice in last month from a glitch. It is shocking that something like Bitlocker is ebedded in the program and not aware of. So all will need to be reinstalled since sounds like hope of ever unincripting the hard drive is 0%

We have spent hours with Microsoft, and 2 trips to BestBuy where we bought, but this was clearly just done when serviced, since not part of the original Windows and happened when being serviced and likely just an install of new op system to try to address the speaker issue. Since it was never active or even on the computer we had the run around as well looking in the Microsoft accout, which like prior email, 1) was never linked since never needed it and no reason toĢ) we did not have paper copy since was never suppose to be on computer According to Windows and Best Buy the computer only had Windows Home when we purchased which does not include BitLocker.īitlocker is apparently only in Professional or Windows Enterprise. We sent in for speaker to be fixed to Lenovo and when the laptop came back and we turned on it had the Bitlocker screen on.
