To retrieve data from a BitLocker-encrypted hard drive, proceed as follows:

Step 1. Select the encrypted drive to be scanned. When you open EaseUS Data Recovery Wizard, the BitLocker encrypted drive will be visible.

Step 2. Choose a few files to preview after scanning. The program will launch a rapid scan for missing files and thoroughly search for more lost files. Once the operation is finished, you may use the "Filter" option or the "Search files or folders" button to locate the deleted files quickly.

Step 3. Retrieve deleted files from a BitLocker-encrypted hard disk. Click the "Recover" button after examining the file to recover deleted or lost files from a Windows BitLocker encrypted drive.

A pop-up window will appear when you click on the encrypted partition, prompting you to input a password to unlock it. Enter the key, then select "Scan" to search for lost files. Use "Try Automatically Decrypt" to try and open the drive if you've lost the key. Nonetheless, this might fail, and this software cannot scan the industry if it fails.

Make sure you have administrator rights to turn off BitLocker encryption. To disable BitLocker encryption in GUI mode, follow the instructions below:

Step 1. Choose "BitLocker Disk Encryption" from the menu options Start > Control Panel > System and Security.

Step 2. Locate the drive on which you want to disable BitLocker Drive Encryption, then click "Switch Off BitLocker". The drive will be decrypted, although it might take some time, according to a notification that will be shown.

Step 3. The drive's BitLocker must be disabled by clicking "Turn off BitLocker / Decrypt the drive".

Use EaseUS Data Recovery Wizard to recover deleted or lost files easily and quickly.
