I have locked my hard disk with bitlocker and after i converted my 32 bit windows 10 os into 64 bit my correct bitlocker password does not work (and i have lost my recovery key too) pls help me unlock my hard disk without formatting the disk!
 
Solution


1. The "conversion" from 32bit to 64bit was a full reinstall. This probably impacted your BitLocker credentials.
2. If your BitLocker password does not work, there is literally nothing you can do. There is no magic workaround.
If there were a workaround, BitLocker wouldn't be much good, would it?
This is not a password question. This is a bitlocker issue.

The only way to access the bitlocker protected content is with the password/recovery key. There is no way around this. Period.
 


Did you print the recovery key? Did you save it to a USB? Did you upload it to Microsoft servers?

Yes, from the backup you made before you changed the OS.
 


Then you already got the answer
