BitLocker To Go koristan je kada želite zaštititi podatke na svojim izmjenjivim pogonima ( USB memorijske kartice, vanjski tvrdi diskovi, itd.). Iako može biti od pomoći, možda se neće svidjeti svim korisnicima jer od vas traži lozinku svaki put kada želite upotrijebiti šifrirani pogon. Ako ste šifrirali flash pogon, vanjski tvrdi disk ili drugi prijenosni pogon s BitLocker To Go i odlučite vratiti pogon u njegovo normalno stanje kako biste ga mogli koristiti bez upisivanja lozinke za otključavanje, morate ga dešifrirati i onemogućite BitLocker To Go . Evo kako onemogućiti BitLocker s bilo kojeg USB pogona:

Želite li ukloniti BitLocker To Go lozinku s USB pogona?

Ako želite ukloniti BitLocker lozinku s USB pogona (memory stick, vanjski tvrdi disk itd.) koji je bio šifriran s BitLocker To Go , trebate barem jedno od sljedećeg:

• Lozinka koja je postavljena prilikom šifriranja USB pogona pomoću BitLocker To Go . Za više pojedinosti o postupku šifriranja pročitajte: Šifriranje USB pogona pomoću BitLocker To Go u sustavu Windows 10^{(Encrypt a USB drive with BitLocker To Go in Windows 10)} .
• BitLocker ključ za oporavak koji je stvoren kada je USB pogon šifriran pomoću BitLocker To Go . Imali ste tri opcije za spremanje ključa za oporavak: ispisati ga na komad papira, spremiti ga u datoteku ili na svoj Microsoftov^(Microsoft) račun.

Ako nemate nijednu od ovih stavki, nemate sreće i ne možete onemogućiti BitLocker To Go sa svog USB pogona i oporaviti svoje podatke s njega. Ovu nesretnu situaciju pokrivamo na kraju ovog vodiča. Pomičite^(Scroll) se prema dolje dok ga ne pronađete.

Kako onemogućiti BitLocker To Go kada znate lozinku za otključavanje

Ako znate BitLocker lozinku za svoj USB pogon, postupak za uklanjanje je jednostavan. Jednostavno^(Just) priključite USB pogon u svoje računalo i otključajte ga pomoću koraka prikazanih u ovom vodiču: Kako otključati BitLocker USB pogon ili vanjski tvrdi disk^{(How to unlock a BitLocker USB drive or external hard drive)} .

Sažetak uključenih koraka je sljedeći: kada vidite obavijest za otključavanje pogona, kliknite ili dodirnite na nju, unesite BitLocker lozinku i pritisnite Otključaj^(Unlock) . Pogon je sada spreman za upotrebu i možete jednostavno onemogućiti BitLocker To Go .

Otvorite File Explorer^{(Open File Explorer)} , idite na Ovo računalo^{(This PC)} i desnom tipkom miša kliknite ili pritisnite i držite USB pogon. U kontekstualnom izborniku odaberite Upravljanje BitLockerom^{(Manage BitLocker)} .

Otvara se prozor BitLocker šifriranje pogona . ^{(BitLocker Drive Encryption)}Tamo kliknite ili dodirnite vezu na kojoj piše "Isključi BitLocker"^{("Turn off BitLocker")} za prijenosni pogon na kojem želite onemogućiti BitLocker .

Od vas se traži da potvrdite da želite isključiti BitLocker^{(Turn off BitLocker)} i obaviješteni ste da bi proces šifriranja mogao potrajati. Kliknite^(Click) ili dodirnite Isključi BitLocker^{(Turn off BitLocker)} još jednom.

Prikazuje vam se traka napretka za proces dešifriranja. Kada se završi, bit ćete obaviješteni da je dešifriranje dovršeno. Pritisnite Close i BitLocker To Go će biti onemogućen s vašeg USB pogona. Više ne morate unositi BitLocker lozinku svaki put kada je želite upotrijebiti.

Kako onemogućiti BitLocker To Go kada ne znate lozinku, ali imate BitLocker ključ za oporavak

Ako se ne sjećate lozinke za BitLocker za svoj ^(BitLocker)USB pogon, ne možete otključati pogon bez BitLocker ključa za oporavak kreiranog kada je pogon prvi put šifriran. Ako ste ga ispisali, pronađite komad papira na kojem ste ga ispisali. Ako ste je spremili u datoteku, potražite tekstualnu datoteku s nazivom "BitLocker Recovery Key", nakon čega slijedi dugačak kod koji sadrži i brojeve i slova, kao što se vidi na snimci zaslona u nastavku.

Otvorite ga i njegov je sadržaj sličan snimci zaslona ispod. Pogledajte unos ključa za oporavak^{(Recovery Key)} koji trebate kopirati i zatim zalijepiti^{(copy and then paste)} kako biste mogli otključati svoj BitLocker To Go pogon. Ključ za oporavak uvijek ima 48 znamenki. Provjerite^(Make) jeste li ih sve kopirali.

Ako ste odlučili spremiti BitLocker To Go ključ za oporavak na svoj Microsoftov račun^{(Microsoft account)} , idite na account.microsoft.com/devices/recoverykey i prijavite se svojim Microsoft računom i lozinkom. Vidjet ćete popis BitLocker ključeva za oporavak^{(BitLocker recovery keys)} , a prvi koji se prikazuje je posljednji ključ za oporavak spremljen na vaš račun. Da biste vidjeli sve ključeve za oporavak, kliknite ili dodirnite "Prikaži druge dostupne ključeve".^{("Show other available keys.")}

Sada možete vidjeti sve BitLocker ključeve za oporavak sa svih svojih računala i uređaja te datum kada su preneseni na vaš Microsoftov^(Microsoft) račun. Da biste lakše pronašli ispravan ključ za oporavak, imajte na umu da stupac Pogon kaže:^(Drive)

• RDV za prijenosne diskove, što znači USB pogone i druge vanjske uređaje za pohranu

• OSV za volumen operativnog sustava, što znači pogon C: koji šifrirate kako biste zaštitili Windows 10 i sve podatke pohranjene na toj particiji. Naravno, ostale particije na vašem internom tvrdom disku bit će opisane kao OSV.

Nakon što pronađete BitLocker ključ za oporavak, kopirajte ga u međuspremnik^(clipboard) ( CTRL + C na tipkovnici). Zatim u dijalogu za otključavanje BitLockera^{(BitLocker unlock)} za vaš šifrirani pogon kliknite ili dodirnite Više opcija^{(More options)} .

Zatim odaberite "Unesite ključ za oporavak".^{("Enter recovery key.")}

Zalijepite ključ za oporavak i pritisnite Otključaj^(Unlock) . Ako ključ za oporavak nije prihvaćen, upotrijebite drugi koji imate i provjerite radi li. Možete pokušati koliko god puta trebate dok ne pronađete ispravan ključ za oporavak.

Nakon što unesete ispravan ključ za oporavak, USB pogon se otključava i možete postaviti drugu lozinku ili potpuno isključiti BitLocker To Go . Jedan od načina da onemogućite BitLocker za vaš USB pogon je da slijedite upute iz prethodnog odjeljka ovog vodiča. Drugi uključuje otvaranje upravljačke ploče^{(opening the Control Panel)} i odlazak na "Sustav i sigurnost",^{("System and Security,")} nakon čega slijedi "BitLocker šifriranje pogona". ^{("BitLocker Drive Encryption.")}Potražite USB prijenosni pogon na kojem želite zaustaviti BitLocker i kliknite ili dodirnite vezu "Isključi BitLocker"^{("Turn off BitLocker")} pokraj njega.

Kliknite ili dodirnite Isključi BitLocker^{(Turn off BitLocker)} još jednom, pričekajte da se dešifriranje završi i pritisnite Zatvori^(Close) . BitLocker To Go sada je onemogućen na USB disku, a BitLocker lozinka je uklonjena. Sada ga možete koristiti kao bilo koji drugi uobičajeni, nešifrirani disk.

Kako ukloniti BitLocker To Go kada ne znate lozinku za BitLocker i nemate ključ za oporavak

Najgori scenarij je kada se ne sjećate lozinke za BitLocker i nemate BitLocker ključ za oporavak za otključavanje USB pogona. U ovoj situaciji ne možete pristupiti datotekama i mapama pohranjenim na vašem šifriranom USB disku. Možete oporaviti disk, ali recite "Bye-bye! " tim podacima. Ako ste u redu s tim, možete onemogućiti BitLocker s tog USB pogona tako da ga formatirate. Otvorite File Explorer , idite na Ovo računalo^{(This PC)} i desnom tipkom miša kliknite šifrirani pogon. U prikazanom izborniku odaberite Format .

Odaberite kako želite formatirati svoj USB pogon i pritisnite Start .

Možda će vam se prikazati upozorenje da će formatiranje izbrisati sve podatke na vašem disku. Ako ga vidite, pritisnite OK, pričekajte da se formatiranje nastavi. Kada je gotovo, kliknite ili dodirnite U redu^(OK) .

Da biste saznali više o formatiranju, pročitajte: 2 načina formatiranja 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)} .

Vaš USB pogon više nije kriptiran BitLockerom^(BitLocker) i više ne traži lozinku kada ga priključite na računalo. Međutim, podaci pohranjeni na njemu nestali su i ne mogu se oporaviti, čak ni korištenjem specijaliziranih alata poput Recuve^(Recuva) .

Jeste^(Did) li uspjeli onemogućiti BitLocker To Go i ukloniti BitLocker lozinku?

Nadamo se da vam je ovaj vodič bio koristan i da ste uspjeli isključiti BitLocker To Go sa svog USB pogona, tako da više ne morate unositi lozinku svaki put kada ga priključite na računalo.

How to remove BitLocker To Go from a USB drive

BitLocker To Go is useful when you want to protect the data on your removable drives (USB memory sticks, external hard disks, etc.). Though it can be helpful, it may not appeal to all users, because it asks you for a password each time you want to use the encrypted drive. If you have encrypted a flash drive, an external hard disk, or another removable drive with BitLocker To Go, and you decide to return the drive to its normal state so that you can use it without typing the unlock password, you have to decrypt it and disable BitLocker To Go. Here's how to disable BitLocker from any USB drive:

Do you want to remove the BitLocker To Go password from a USB drive?

If you want to remove the BitLocker password from a USB drive (memory stick, external hard disk, etc.) that was encrypted with BitLocker To Go, you need at least one of the following:

• The password that was set when encrypting the USB drive with BitLocker To Go. For more details about the encryption process, read: Encrypt a USB drive with BitLocker To Go in Windows 10.
• The BitLocker recovery key that was created when the USB drive was encrypted with BitLocker To Go. You had three options for saving the recovery key: print it on a piece of paper, save it to a file, or to your Microsoft account.

If you don't have any of these items, you are out of luck, and you can't disable BitLocker To Go from your USB drive and also recover your data from it. We cover this unfortunate situation at the end of this tutorial. Scroll down until you find it.

How to disable BitLocker To Go when you know the unlock password

If you know the BitLocker password for your USB drive, the procedure for removing it is simple. Just plug in the USB drive into your computer, and unlock it using the steps shown in this guide: How to unlock a BitLocker USB drive or external hard drive.

The summary of the steps involved is this: when you see the notification to unlock the drive, click or tap on it, enter the BitLocker password, and press Unlock. The drive is now ready to use, and you can easily disable BitLocker To Go.

Open File Explorer, go to This PC, and right-click or press-and-hold on the USB drive. In the contextual menu, choose Manage BitLocker.

The BitLocker Drive Encryption window opens. There, click or tap the link that says "Turn off BitLocker" for the removable drive where you want to disable BitLocker.

You are asked to confirm that you want to Turn off BitLocker, and you are informed that the encryption process might take a long time. Click or tap Turn off BitLocker one more time.

You are shown a progress bar for the decryption process. When it is finished, you are informed that the decryption is complete. Press Close, and BitLocker To Go is disabled from your USB drive. You no longer have to enter a BitLocker password each time you want to use it.

How to disable BitLocker To Go when you don't know the password, but you have the BitLocker recovery key

If you don't remember the BitLocker password for your USB drive, you can't unlock the drive without the BitLocker recovery key created when the drive was first encrypted. If you printed it, find the piece of paper on which you did. If you saved it to a file, look for a text file with the name "BitLocker Recovery Key," followed by a long code that contains both numbers and letters, as seen in the screenshot below.

Open it, and its content is similar to the screenshot below. See the Recovery Key entry that you need to copy and then paste, so that you can unlock your BitLocker To Go drive. The recovery key always has 48 digits. Make sure that you copy them all.

If you decided to save the BitLocker To Go recovery key to your Microsoft account, go to account.microsoft.com/devices/recoverykey and sign in with your Microsoft account and password. You see a list of BitLocker recovery keys, and the first that is shown is the last recovery key saved to your account. To see all the recovery keys, click or tap "Show other available keys."

Now you get to see all the BitLocker recovery keys from all your computers and devices, and the date when they were uploaded to your Microsoft account. To make it easier to find the correct recovery key, keep in mind that the Drive column says:

• RDV for removable drive volumes, meaning USB drives, and other external storage devices

• OSV for the operating system volume, meaning the C: drive that you encrypt to protect Windows 10 and all the data stored on that partition. Of course, other partitions on your internal hard disk are going to be described as OSV.

After you have found the BitLocker recovery key, copy it to the clipboard (CTRL + C on your keyboard). Then, in the BitLocker unlock dialogue for your encrypted drive, click or tap More options.

Then, choose to "Enter recovery key."

Paste the recovery key, and press Unlock. If the recovery key is not accepted, use another one that you have, and see if it works. You can try as many times as you need until you find the correct recovery key.

After you enter the correct recovery key, the USB drive is unlocked, and you can set another password or turn off BitLocker To Go completely. One way to disable BitLocker for your USB drive is by following the instructions from the previous section of this tutorial. Another involves opening the Control Panel and going to "System and Security," followed by "BitLocker Drive Encryption." Look for the USB removable drive where you want to stop BitLocker, and click or tap the "Turn off BitLocker" link next to it.

Click or tap Turn off BitLocker one more time, wait for the decryption to finish, and press Close. BitLocker To Go is now disabled on the USB drive, and the BitLocker password was removed. You can now use it as any other regular, unencrypted drive.

How to remove BitLocker To Go when you don't know the BitLocker password, and you don't have the recovery key

The worst scenario is when you don't remember the BitLocker password, and you don't have the BitLocker recovery key to unlock the USB drive. In this situation, you can't access the files and folders stored on your encrypted USB drive. You can recover the drive, but say "Bye-bye!" to that data. If you are OK with that, you can disable BitLocker from that USB drive by formatting it. Open File Explorer, go to This PC and right-click on the encrypted drive. In the menu that is shown, choose Format.

Select how you want to format your USB drive and press Start.

You may be shown a warning that formatting is going to erase all data on your disk. If you see it, press OK, wait for the format to proceed. When it is done, click or tap OK.

To learn more about formatting, read: 2 ways to format an SD Card, a USB memory stick, or a hard drive partition in Windows.

Your USB drive is no longer encrypted with BitLocker, and it no longer asks for a password when you plug it into your computer. However, the data stored on it is gone, and it cannot be recovered, not even using specialized tools like Recuva.

Did you manage to disable BitLocker To Go and remove the BitLocker password?

We hope that you found this guide useful, and you managed to turn off BitLocker To Go from your USB drive, so that you no longer need to enter a password each time you plug it into a computer. If you had problems with the process, don't hesitate to leave a comment below and share your experience with other readers and us.
