BitLocker (and Device encryption) Tool

This tool provides a simple interface to manage BitLocker (aka "Device encryption") on all drives connected to your system.

Introduction

BitLocker is Windows drive encryption. After certain firmware-related changes, Windows may ask for the BitLocker recovery key on the next boot. If that happens and you do not have the correct key, you will not be able to continue booting or access your data.

Do not start a BIOS or firmware update unless one of the following is true:

• You already have your BitLocker recovery key and can access it from another device.
• BitLocker protection has been suspended or disabled before running the update.

For more information, please see our FAQ article: Understanding BitLocker (and how to deal with it before BIOS updates)

Usage:

• Unzip package
• Double-click "BitLocker-Tool.bat"

Available actions:
