Šifrirali ste svoj flash pogon pomoću BitLocker To Go i sada su vaši podaci zaštićeni od znatiželjnih očiju. Za svakoga bez vaše lozinke, vaše su datoteke neshvatljivo iskrivljene. Nažalost, ako izgubite svoju BitLocker lozinku, vaši podaci ostaju jednako nedešifrirani vama kao i drugima. Srećom, ako ste spremili ključ za oporavak tijekom početne konfiguracije BitLockera^(BitLocker) , ne biste trebali imati problema s otključavanjem pogona i spašavanjem podataka. Nakon što je pogon otključan, možete promijeniti svoju lozinku kako biste izbjegli ovaj problem u budućnosti. U ovom vodiču ćemo vam objasniti sve što možete učiniti ako ste zaboravili BitLocker lozinku za USB pogon:

Kako oporaviti podatke na BitLocker šifriranom USB pogonu ako ste zaboravili njegovu lozinku

Ako imate USB pogon koji ste šifrirali BitLockerom^(BitLocker) i više se ne sjećate lozinke za njega, postoji samo jedan način da mu pristupite. To možete učiniti samo pomoću BitLocker ključa za oporavak^{(BitLocker recovery key)} . To je jedinstvena 48-znamenkasta brojčana lozinka koju je BitLocker^(BitLocker) stvorio za vas kada ste šifrirali taj USB pogon^{(when you've encrypted that USB drive)} . Evo koraka koje morate poduzeti da biste pristupili BitLocker šifriranom USB disku ako ste zaboravili njegovu lozinku:

First of all, plug your encrypted USB drive into a USB port on your Windows 10 computer or device and try to open and unlock it with File Explorer. As you don't remember the BitLocker password for the USB drive, instead of entering it, click or tap on More options.

The BitLocker dialog window should then show you an option called "Enter recovery key." Click or tap on it.

As soon as you do that, BitLocker asks you to "Enter the 48-digit recovery key to unlock this drive."

Ovisno o tome kako i gdje ste odlučili spremiti BitLocker ključ za oporavak, možete ga pronaći na nekoliko mjesta:

• U tekstualnoj datoteci
• Na vašem Microsoft računu
• Na ispisu

Evo što učiniti u svakom slučaju:

Kako koristiti USB BitLocker ključ za oporavak iz tekstualne datoteke

Ako ste odlučili spremiti ključ za oporavak u tekstualnu datoteku kada ste aktivirali BitLocker na svom USB disku, morate zapamtiti gdje ste spremili tu datoteku i otvoriti je. Kopirajte^(Copy) redak ključa za oporavak^{(Recovery Key)} iz BitLocker ključa za oporavak [ID diska].txt^{(BitLocker Recovery Key [Drive ID].txt)} datoteke.

Zatim zalijepite BitLocker ključ za oporavak u dijaloški prozor BitLocker USB pogona i pritisnite Otključaj^(Unlock) .

Nakon što je ključ za oporavak BitLocker prihvaćen, vaš flash pogon se automatski otvara u File Exploreru^{(File Explorer)} .

Kako dobiti USB BitLocker ključ za oporavak s vašeg Microsoft računa

Kada ste omogućili BitLocker na svom USB disku, možda ste odlučili spremiti BitLocker ključ za oporavak na svoj Microsoftov račun^{(Microsoft account)} . U tom slučaju upotrijebite web-preglednik za prijavu na svoj Microsoftov^(Microsoft) račun i preuzmite ključ iz ovog odjeljka: BitLocker ključevi za oporavak^{(BitLocker recovery keys)} . Ako imate više USB diskova šifriranih BitLockerom^(BitLocker) , pronađite onaj koji trebate otključati i kopirajte njegov ključ za oporavak^{(Recovery key)} .

Zalijepite ključ za oporavak u dijaloški prozor BitLocker s računala sa sustavom Windows 10 i pritisnite gumb Otključaj^(Unlock) .

Ako je BitLocker ključ za oporavak bio ispravan, BitLocker šifrirani USB pogon sada bi se trebao automatski otvoriti u File Exploreru^{(File Explorer)} .

Kako koristiti USB BitLocker ključ za oporavak s papira koji ste ispisali

U slučaju da ste odlučili ispisati ključ za oporavak kada ste uključili BitLocker na svom USB disku, potražite taj komad papira. Trebalo bi izgledati ovako:

Upišite cijeli 48-znamenkasti brojčani ključ za oporavak BitLockera u ^(BitLocker)BitLocker skočni prozor s računala ili uređaja sa sustavom Windows 10. Zatim pritisnite gumb Otključaj .^(Unlock)

Ako ste ispravno upisali ključ za oporavak, File Explorer bi sada trebao otvoriti vaš šifrirani USB pogon.

Promijenite zaboravljenu lozinku BitLocker USB pogona novom

Nakon što dobijete pristup BitLocker šifriranom USB pogonu, razmislite o stvaranju nove lozinke za njega. U suprotnom, morate ponovno unijeti BitLocker ključ za oporavak svaki put kada želite koristiti šifrirani pogon. Da biste promijenili lozinku za BitLocker koju ste zaboravili, otvorite File Explorer^{(open File Explorer)} , desnom tipkom miša kliknite ili pritisnite i držite USB pogon i odaberite "Promijeni lozinku za BitLocker".^{("Change BitLocker password.")}

Ova radnja otvara prozor pod nazivom BitLocker šifriranje pogona,^{(BitLocker Drive Encryption,)} gdje se od vas traži stara lozinka prije nego što unesete novu. Budući da ne znate staru lozinku (razlog zbog kojeg ste ovdje), morate odabrati opciju "Poništi zaboravljenu lozinku"^{("Reset a forgotten password")} .

Unesite^(Enter) novu lozinku za BitLocker šifrirani USB pogon i pazite da je više ne zaboravite. Nakon što unesete lozinku dvaput, pritisnite Završi^(Finish) .

Trebali biste dobiti potvrdu da je lozinka USB pogona šifriranog BitLockerom uspješno promijenjena i to je to!

SAVJET:^(TIP:) Ako biste radije potpuno onemogućili BitLocker za svoj USB pogon, možete i to učiniti. Samo slijedite korake iz ovog vodiča: Kako onemogućiti BitLocker To Go enkripciju i ukloniti lozinku za otključavanje^{(How to disable BitLocker To Go encryption and remove the unlock password)} .

Što ako nemam BitLocker ključ za oporavak za USB pogon? Mogu li dobiti natrag svoje podatke?

Također postoji mogućnost da ste zaboravili i lozinku USB pogona šifriranog BitLockerom^(BitLocker) i njegov ključ za oporavak. Loša vijest je u tom slučaju da su podaci koje ste imali na njemu zauvijek izgubljeni. Jedino što možete učiniti je formatirati taj USB disk i koristiti ga kao novog. Ako vam je potrebna pomoć oko toga, pogledajte ovaj vodič: 2 načina za formatiranje SD kartice, USB memorijske kartice ili particije tvrdog diska u sustavu Windows^{(2 ways to format an SD Card, a USB memory stick, or a hard drive partition in Windows)} .

Jeste^(Did) li uspjeli oporaviti svoj USB disk šifriran BitLockerom?

Sada kada razumijete kako spasiti svoje podatke, čak i ako ste zaboravili lozinku, malo bi vas trebalo spriječiti da zaštitite svoje podatke pomoću BitLockera^(BitLocker) . Ako čuvate svoj ključ za oporavak na sigurnom, nikada ne biste trebali imati problema s pristupom svojim podacima. Isprobajte ovu korisnu značajku i slobodno nam ostavite komentare o svom iskustvu ili postavite pitanja.

Get access to a BitLocker-encrypted USB drive when you forget its password

Υou've encrypted yoυr flash drive using BitLocker To Go, and now your data is safe from prying eyes. To anyone withоut your password, your files are garbled beyond comprehension. Unfortunately, if you lose your BitLocker password, уour data stays just aѕ indecipherable to yoυ as it is to otherѕ. Lυсkily, if you saved the recovery key during the initial BitLocker configuration, you should have no trouble unlocking the drive and rescuing your data. Once the drive is unlocked, you can change your password to avoid this issue in the future. In thіs tutorial, we're going to explain to you everything you can dо if you forgot the BitLocker password of a USB drive:

How to recover the data on a BitLocker encrypted USB drive if you forgot its password

If you have a USB drive that you've encrypted with BitLocker and you no longer remember the password for it, there's only one way to access it. You can only do it using the BitLocker recovery key. That's a unique 48-digit numerical password that was created by BitLocker for you when you've encrypted that USB drive. Here are the steps you have to take to access a BitLocker encrypted USB drive if you've forgotten its password:

First of all, plug your encrypted USB drive into a USB port on your Windows 10 computer or device and try to open and unlock it with File Explorer. As you don't remember the BitLocker password for the USB drive, instead of entering it, click or tap on More options.

The BitLocker dialog window should then show you an option called "Enter recovery key." Click or tap on it.

As soon as you do that, BitLocker asks you to "Enter the 48-digit recovery key to unlock this drive."

Depending on how and where you chose to save the BitLocker recovery key, you can find it in several places:

• In a text file
• In your Microsoft account
• On a printout

Here's what to do in each case:

How to use the USB BitLocker recovery key from a text file

If you chose to save the recovery key in a text file when you activated BitLocker on your USB drive, you have to remember where you saved that file and open it. Copy the Recovery Key line from the BitLocker Recovery Key [Drive ID].txt file.

Then, paste the BitLocker recovery key in the USB drive's BitLocker dialog window, and press Unlock.

Once the BitLocker recovery key has been accepted, your flash drive opens automatically in File Explorer.

How to get the USB BitLocker recovery key from your Microsoft account

When you've enabled BitLocker on your USB drive, you might have decided to save the BitLocker recovery key in your Microsoft account. In that case, use a web browser to sign in to your Microsoft account and get the key from this section: BitLocker recovery keys. If you have multiple USB drives encrypted with BitLocker, find the one you need to unlock and copy its Recovery key.

Paste the recovery key in the BitLocker dialog window from your Windows 10 PC, and push the Unlock button.

If the BitLocker recovery key was correct, the BitLocker-encrypted USB drive should now automatically open in File Explorer.

How to use the USB BitLocker recovery key from a paper you've printed

In case you've decided to print the recovery key when you've turned on BitLocker on your USB drive, look for that piece of paper. It should look like this:

Type the whole 48-digit numerical BitLocker recovery key in the BitLocker popup from your Windows 10 computer or device. Then, press the Unlock button.

If you've typed the recovery key correctly, File Explorer should now open your encrypted USB drive.

Change the forgotten password of the BitLocker USB drive with a new one

After you gain access to the BitLocker encrypted USB drive, you should consider creating a new password for it. Otherwise, you must re-enter the BitLocker recovery key each time you want to use the encrypted drive. To change the BitLocker password you forgot, open File Explorer, right-click or press-and-hold on the USB drive, and select "Change BitLocker password."

This action opens a window called BitLocker Drive Encryption, where you're asked for the old password before entering a new one. Because you don't know the old password (the reason you are here), you must choose the "Reset a forgotten password" option.

Enter the new password for the BitLocker encrypted USB drive and make sure that you don't forget it again. Once you've entered the password twice, hit Finish.

You should receive a confirmation that the password of the BitLocker-encrypted USB drive was successfully changed, and that's it!

TIP: If you'd rather disable BitLocker altogether for your USB drive, you can do that too. Just follow the steps from this guide: How to disable BitLocker To Go encryption and remove the unlock password.

What if I don't have the BitLocker recovery key for the USB drive? Can I get my data back?

There's also the possibility that you forgot both the password of a USB drive encrypted with BitLocker and it's recovery key. The bad news, in that case, is that the data you had on it is lost forever. The only thing you can do is format that USB drive and use it as new. If you need help with that, check this tutorial: 2 ways to format an SD Card, a USB memory stick, or a hard drive partition in Windows.

Did you manage to recover your BitLocker-encrypted USB drive?

Now that you understand how to rescue your data, even if you've forgotten your password, there should be little holding you back from protecting your data with BitLocker. If you keep your recovery key safe, you should never have any issues getting to your data. Try this helpful feature out and feel free to leave us comments about your experience or to ask questions.
