Heres my situation. I have a drive that I encrypted with windows 7 ultimate and bitlocker. I have really important work files in there. During the encryption process I did everything the instructions told me to do. Print out the 48 digit code, backup the .txt to a flash ect. Everything was fine for weeks. I decided to upgrade my wireless card. When I went to boot, bitlocker asked me for my 48 digit code. I entered it as instructed using the fn keys and tried probably 50 times ..probably more. In a panic I went into my bios and cleared the TPM. Now, the ID has changed, this explains why my 48 digit recovery code does not work. I put the TPM back in , but no luck. I grabbed another drive and reloaded windows. The password option is NOT available. I have found some commands to enable the ability to try a password (I know what it is, Ive typed it thousands of times), but it wont take. When I get the status of bitlocker drive using the manage-bde command it says TPM and numerical. So, the password option is out. It DOES say encryption is AES-128 with difuser. I have the files from a backup and they are encrypted too. The drive DOES show in windows and is not corrupted , and has that stupid lock symbol on it. If anyone wants to remote in, and use any tool they like and get me in, I will gladly pay $200 via paypal. Understand first, no success, no pay. Thank you.
