Is there a way to retrieve data from a BitLocker-encrypted hard drive in a laptop with a roasted motherboard?
I have a Dell Inspiron laptop with a blown-out motherboard, and I am unable to access the hard drive by using an SSD enclosure and connecting it to my desktop, as BitLocker is activated. I have two Microsoft IDs that are linked to the laptop as devices, and they are the only ones with Key IDs and the 48-digit BitLocker recovery key. The Key IDs and recovery keys on both IDs are identical. However, when I try to open the hard drive as an external drive from the desktop, it demands the BitLocker recovery key, but the Key ID is different from that stored in my Microsoft IDs. I am wondering why the Key ID demanded is different from that recorded. Is there any hope of retrieving data from the encrypted hard drive?
