Hi,
is there anyway to recover the data from an encrypted HDD ?
I recently had a laptop MB die on me and need to get the info off the drive, Is there no way to recover it ?

It was done with Sophos Central Bitlocker Encryption
then you need to connect it to another Windows Machine with Bitlocker and enter the recovery key for the drive stored in Central.
I believe there is documentation for that in Central.

Hi Richard,
Thanks for this do you by any chance have a link for this ? I cant seem to find it ?
Although i did try something similar, I took it out an dout into a windows machine that was not encrypted, I saw the drive letter there when trying to enter the key from central it denied the access and wouldn't let me in.
If I could check those notes it may be good.

Here is the steps.
So, you are saying you are not auth - is this when you attempt to navigate into the drive or when you put in the recovery key?
