This tutorial will teach you how to recover lost files from a BitLocker encrypted partition, mainly including the following aspects:
In today's digital age, computers serve not only as tools for work, learning, and entertainment but also as central hubs for personal data storage. Unlike mobile devices such as phones and tablets, computers offer significantly more storage capacity. As a result, we typically store personal and family photos, favorite music and movies, and important documents on our computers for quick and convenient access. To protect sensitive files and personal privacy, it is essential to encrypt this important data.
On Windows computers, many users choose to use BitLocker to encrypt drives that hold these important data. How would you feel if you accidentally lost important files on a BitLocker encrypted drive? For those who do not have any backups for these data (To back up your drive, we recommend that you try free Windows backup software - Hasleo Backup Suite), this could be a huge disaster. You may consider to choose a data recovery software to recover data from the drive, but normal data recovery software cannot recover data from BitLocker encrypted drives, most of them do not even recognize these drives.
Can you recover data from BitLocker-encrypted drives? The answer is yes. With the right tool, recovering lost data is entirely possible. You'll need professional BitLocker data recovery software—and we recommend Hasleo BitLocker Data Recovery. This software is specifically designed to recover lost data from BitLocker-encrypted drives effectively. However, a critical note: stop using the drive immediately once you realize data loss. Continued use may overwrite the original space and significantly reduce your chances of successful recovery. The step-by-step guide below walks you through the recovery process using Hasleo BitLocker Data Recovery.
1. Please select the drive where you lost your files, then click the "Scan" button to find all BitLocker-encrypted partitions on the device.
2. A pop-up window will appear asking you to enter the BitLocker password or 48-digit BitLocker recovery key. If you don't want to enter the password or BitLocker recovery key here, just click the "Skip" button to skip it.
3. Hasleo Data Recovery will list all found BitLocker encrypted partitions on the target device. If you have entered the password or BitLocker recovery key in the previous step, the password status will show whether the password or BitLocker recovery key matches this partition.
4. Double-click the partition you want to recover data from. If you've already entered the password or BitLocker recovery key and the password or recovery key matches, Hasleo Data Recovery will start scanning lost files. Otherwise, a prompt will appear asking for your BitLocker password or 48-digit recovery key. After entering the correct credentials and clicking "OK", the scan will start.
When the scanning process gets finished, you can filter and preview found files by path and file types. When you locate the files you want, just select them and click on "Recover" button to save them to your hard drive or other storage device. If some files are not found, please click "Deep Scan" button to start the Deep Scan Recovery process, deep scan takes more time, but can find much more lost files.

It enables you to recover deleted or lost files in just a few steps—even if the encrypted drive itself has been deleted or lost. Experience it yourself with a free trial.
