I was in a big trouble when I formatted my C drive (system drive) and my other drives like D, E and F were locked by bitlocker and I didn't know the recovery key. After some trial and error, I finally was able to unlock those drive without losing the data.
Here is how you can also unlock your drives: (You need to have a dell laptop)
-Restart system and enter a BIOS mode (Keep pressing F12 if you are a dell user. For other manufacturers, key might get differ).
-After entering BIOS, you will see an option called 'SupportAssist OS Recovery' and press enter.
-Choose option RESET (This will re-install the factory operation system that came with the system when you had bought it)
-After choosing RESET, you will see 2 options: Reset to factory setting and Reset and update.
-Choose Reset to factory setting (You might want to take back up of your C drive if there are any important files stored on your desktop, documents, downloads, etc. because this will format your C drive (where windows is installed) and will re-install the factory OS.)
-It will take 15-20 mins and you are done!
-You will be asked setup your system (like new).
-Once it is done, you will see that your locked drives have been unlocked successfully and data is still there in the drives as you left.
THIS IS HOW IT WORKED FOR ME. I'M POSTING THIS IN ORDER TO HELP SOMEONE WHO IS FACING THE SIMILAR ISSUE.

Thank you so much for making such a clear tutorial on how to do this. My Lenovo did not have the control panel option to turn off bitlocker. Really annoying problem to deal with.

You are the best of all. Thank you I was looking to unlock and no one said that easy and 3 ways to do it.

[Coolman]

Thank you so much. None of the other videos I watched were helpful and didn't get straight to the point like you did.

The first command didn't work but the actual disabling of the bitlocker worked, thanks!

[raphaelgiffoni]

Man, you're a genius! Thank you so much! It worked! The only way on the entire internet that really works!

Why is it not asking for a password to unlock BitLocker; is it because you are already logged into the machine it was made on; what if it was an external disk plugged into another machine; would it ask for the password to turn it off; otherwise, what is the point of bitlocker; just plug the drive into another machine and turn it off.

Liked the tutorial on removing BitLocker, the default Win10 feature works fine.

Great and informative video, thanks 👌

[thatsmyopinion.whatsyours]

Everybody does these videos assuming you have access to Windows . When my laptop starts it IMMEDIATELY asks for the bitlocker key and that is as far as you get.
