Get recovery key for Windows

  • Bài viết

Access the BitLocker recovery key for a work or school device on the Intune Company Portal website or in the Intune Company Portal app. If you forget the sign-in password and get locked out of an Intune-enrolled PC, you can unlock it with a stored recovery key. This article describes how to retrieve the key from Company Portal.

Note

A BitLocker key is a 48-character long password divided into eight groups of 6 characters separated by dashes. Example: 123456-789012-345678-901234-567890-123456-789012-345678

Requirements

  • Enrolled, BitLocker-encrypted work or school device provided by your organization
  • Registered work or school account
  • Permission to view BitLocker recovery key
  • Supported devices
  • Supported version of Company Portal app

You can obtain the recovery key for a work or school device that's encrypted by your organization. Recovery keys aren't available for devices you personally encrypt.
