BitLocker Drive Decrypt Methods

Question

I have a hard disk 1,5 TB with 2 partitions 1 TB and 0,5 TB. The one partition 1 TB was encrypted with Windows 7 BitLocker. One day the encrypted BitLocker partition failed to boot and seems like damaged so I deleted the two partitions and I made quick format, then I locate the hole space without format, so now my disk it seems like RAW SPACE (RANDOM)!

The question is, can I decrypt the partition with the password that I used to logon into BitLocker or I need the recovery key because I didn't keep it.

If not an other question will be, can I regenerate my recovery key from password that I used to logon into BitLocker?

Answer 1

The question is, can i decrypt the partition with the password that i used to logon into bitlocker or i need the recovery key because i didn't keep it.

No. The password decrypts the key, but you don't have an encrypted key.

If not an other question will be, can i regenerate my recovery key from password that i used to logon into bitlocker?

No. The recovery key is randomly-generated. Recovering it requires a backup of the key.

By intentional design, there are only two precise ways to access the encryption key. If you can't meet the requirements for either of those, you cannot decrypt the data.

Answer 2

Recently i learned that with Windows 8 repair-bde i can use password method to dectypt my data. The reason is because the encription key exist in 3 copies inside the partition at random positions. I already test it in another disk and it is working with password no key needed, so now the only thing i must do is to take an image of my partition. Now my disk has infected with tick tack effect and i can not take a clean image with no bad sectors, so the question is if i take an other same disk with first disk and exchange the platters, is possible to read the hole disk with no problems?
