This morning I have putback a backup from my windows and suddenly my D drive is locked with bitlocker, I don't have a key to unlock it and that's because I didn't use bitlocker, is there a way to resolved the problem so I can use my drive again.

Hi z3r010:
Thanks for your reply, I indeed use a Microsoft account, and as you say, there was a key; unfortunately, I was already started to format the drive so I can put back my data, like pictures and music, and documents, and I hope that it will work, will it happen again this situation that I know where to look, so again thanks for the info.

@Brownyboy70 Sorry you are having to go through a clean install. A word of advise to keep in mind for the future. When you ask a question here, it may take a little time for you to get answers so be a little patient with us. The volunteers are located all over the world and time zones are different. It's after 4 AM where I am. Only insomnia brought me to the forum as most everyone in the US is still asleep. Our esteemed leader @z3r010 is 6 hrs. ahead. Had you waited 15 min his solution could have saved you a lot of time.
That said, do you need any help recovering your files, or do you have that covered?

I have my lesson learned in this matter, and yes I have the data covered, its only the D drive who was blocked, so when the format has finished I hope that the I can put back all my data. Again I have my lesson learned. Thanks glasskuter
