Hi Magnum,
Thanks for your reply, from what I understand it's pointless also just
to think about it. So now I'm feeling a bit lost about what to do with
the laptop of my friend.
This is what happened:
https://www.dell.com/community/Windows-10/BitLocker-need-a-key-but-I-never-installed-it/td-p/6019486
I tried the suggestions in the link but none of them worked for me.
Then I tried Bitleaker
https://github.com/kkamagui/bitleaker
but it seems the BIOS of the laptop is too new, perhaps I could try to
downgrade to the oldest available and retry, what 's your opinion?
Got a thread opened there too:
https://github.com/kkamagui/bitleaker/issues/8
Honestly I don't know how to proceed and if there is a way to recover
his data .................... :(
I really need some suggestions
