How can I retrieve my BitLocker Recovery key ?
Posted on August 28, 2012 by ncbrady
here’s a very quick post, if you are not using MBAM and don’t have access to your Active Directory and want to recover your BitLocker key for whatever reason you can quickly do as follows:-
Open an Administrative Command Prompt and type the following
manage-bde -protectors c: -get
replace the drive letter c: with whatever drive is encrypted.
you’ll see output something like this
BitLocker Drive Encryption: Configuration Tool version 6.2.9200

Volume C: [OSDisk]
All Key Protectors
TPM: ID: {37CE71B7-8FE4-4CA9-9637-42516F599C02}
Numerical Password: ID: {31514A2F-147C-478C-B6A2-618CD6F66653}
Password:
249238-002442-716694-646503-010879-234894-155485-185372
To save your recovery key to a network share use the following script (thanks Klaas)
manage-bde -protectors -add c: -recoverykey c:
And below is the script… modify to suit your network share names…
net use Driverletter Networkshare /user:domain\username password
md driveletter\bitlockerkeys\%computername%
attrib -h -s c:\*.bek
move c:\*.bek driveletter\bitlockerkeys\%computername%
