Im the unluckiest guy here. Upon receiving new w520 think pad I took all my data from quickly going bad USB hdd and threw it onto notebook. Then bitlocked it in fears of airport security messing with me. The keys unfortunately are on encrypted notebook. :o

Then I went to bios and changed boot order and booted from Linux cd in order to test Internet. Then went back and changed it back to previous setting and the bitlocker is asking for keys now......!!!!!

I tried passware with no success, as it requires a mounted volume.

Question is what can I do now? Any way to fool it so it would boot to logon screen where I can just use my password? It is stupid cuz I only changed BIOS boot order and then put it back the way it used to be.


Help.
 
If bitlocker was easy to fool, it wouldn't be a good encryption program. Hate to say this, but without those keys you're not getting any of those files back. You'll most likely have to wipe your drive and reinstall windows to get a working system again (assuming I understand you correctly)
