Finding a recovery password
If the name of a computer was changed, the Recovery Password must be searched for in the domain using the first eight characters of the Password ID.
To search for the Recovery Password, the assistant administrator must have the View BitLocker recovery password power on the domain containing the delegated computer objects.
To find a recovery password by using a password ID:
-
Launch the Delegation and Configuration console, and expand the tree view structure.
-
In the Account and Resource Management node, navigate to All My Managed Objects, right-click on the Managed Domain, and then click Find BitLocker Recovery Password.
To find the first eight characters of the recovery password, see Viewing and Copying a BitLocker Recovery Password.
-
In the Find BitLocker Recovery Password page, paste the copied characters in the search field, and then click Search.
