3. Hasleo BitLocker 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 BitLocker-encrypted partition you want to recover data from. If you have previously entered a valid password or recovery key, Hasleo BitLocker Data Recovery will begin scanning for lost files immediately. If not, a pop-up window will prompt you to enter the password or BitLocker recovery key. After entering the correct credentials, click "OK", and the scan will start automatically.

Step 3: Preview and Recover Deleted Files

After scanning, the software will display a list of found files. You can preview them by browsing their paths or types. Select the files you wish to recover, then click the "Recover" button to save them to a destination of your choice. If your desired files are not found, click "Deep Scan" to initiate the Deep Scan Recovery process. This process takes additional time but can recover many more lost files.

Important Notes:

  1. You must enter the correct Bitlocker password or the 48-digit Bitlocker recovery key to successfully recover data from a BitLocker-encrypted drive.
  2. If the metadata area of a BitLocker-encrypted drive is severely corrupted, data recovery from that partition may fail—even with the correct password or recovery key.
  3. Do not save recovered files to the original partition where the lost data was stored. This prevents the data from being overwritten.
  4. You can export or save the scan results for later use or future recovery sessions.
