BitLocker Info
• 1 min to read •
Syxsense allows collecting BitLocker data from a device during Inventory Scan process and keeping this data within easy reach for point-and-click access.
BitLocker is designed to protect data by providing encryption for entire volumes. If you have BitLocker turned on for your device, it's important to be sure you have the Recovery Key backed up somewhere.
Recovery Key is a unique 48-digit numerical password that can be used to unlock your system if BitLocker is otherwise unable to confirm for certain that the attempt to access the system drive is authorized.
If BitLocker recognizes an unauthorized user trying to access the drive it will lock the system and ask for the BitLocker recovery key. If you don't have that key, you won't be able to access the drive, and Microsoft support doesn't have access to the recovery keys either so they can't provide it to you, or create a new one, if it's been lost.
