Unlock BitLocker Automatically Using OPSWAT's Tool

To unlock the BitLocker protected disks for MetaDefender Drive, users must boot Windows and then insert the OPSWAT MetaDefender Drive.

  1. Open your device's My Computer or This PC (depending on the Windows version), right-click on the encrypted disks' icons with the locked yellow padlock icon, and click Unlock Drive and provide the Password.
  1. Once the encrypted drive has been unlocked, go to the MetaDefender Drive partition and open the tools folder.
  2. The tools folder includes three files: unlock_bitlocker.bat (used to unlock your BitLocker drives), unlock_bitlocker.ps1 (a Windows PowerShell script utilized by bitlocker.bat), and README.txt (instructions on how to unlock BitLocker encryption for a diagnostic scan).
  3. Right-click on unlock_bitlocker.bat and select Run as administrator, then click Yes when prompted to confirm running the script as administrator.
  1. While the script is running, a file named bitlocker.key will appear in the tools folder, indicating to users that they are ready to run a scan.
  1. Reboot your system from MetaDefender Drive.
