when i plugged into my Seagate external hard drive, i accidentally click bitlocker encryption button.

Screen pop up and did a scan. I tried to hit the pause button and then power down my laptop.


The bitlocker did not complete the scan and encryption. It was only 10 sec within the process and

no recovery password or code generated


External disk driver used to able to be seen as D: Seagate (name of drive)

Now, explorer only show D: Local Drive


When the system is up again, the D drive - external device is not accessible

(a)Volume date is locked by bitlocker

(b) Right click D drive, give me error message, incompatible windows bitlocker version

(i used windows 10 and its the latest verison)

(c) i ran cmd, run as administrator

Try the following command

manage-bde -off D:

manage-bde -status D: (no drive information seen)
manage-bde –autounlock -enable D:

manage-bde -status


THERE ARE NO RECOVERY PASSWORD



I can not right click the D:\Local drive, so i am not able to access properties administrator rights


I can go to device management, and able to see C: and D:\Seagate (name of device)

but under D: drive tab, there are no policy under security


It seems that the date and drive is healthy

It the first sector or partition are not accessible due to bitlocker, but the process was not completed


I also got this error code 0x80070057 volume locked


PLEASE HELP !!

Dont ask me to use a recoverable passcode, there is NONE generated
