Hello MDLers, I am a real noob on Windows Bitlocker, I have never used it before. I am actually running windows 8.1 on my machine, I have got my brother's EliteBook 840 G1 which on boot prompts for Bitlocker drive encryption key for the Windows Partition (the one after the boot one), because I have booted on Kali linux and see that it could not mount it. My brother told me that he has forgotten the password for that Bitlocker Encryption (because he had not used it for a while). The question is: is there any tool that can bypass or brute-force Windows Bitlocker Encryption !? What are my options !? if any, please help me. thank you for your understanding.
BitLocer uses AES encryption, which is very strong takes a very long time to brute-force. If your brother hasn't saved the recovery key, your only option is formatting the drive.
Thank you for the reply, & no unfortunately he did not save the recovery key. I do know about AES encryption which is very strong. So for his album photos & videos I have to format the partition (no luck for him).
