BitLocker Repair Tool

If you have been following my blog you know that I have a series of posts
about BitLocker. The third part is still missing in action, but a new tool
from Microsoft will be sure to make a guest appearance in that post:
BitLocker Repair Tool.

This tool helps access data encrypted with BitLocker if the hard disk has been
physically damaged. This tool attempts to reconstruct critical data from the drive
and salvage any recoverable data.
To decrypt the data, a recovery password or recovery key is required. In some
cases, a backup of the key package is also required.
Use this command-line tool if the following conditions are true:
• A volume has been encrypted by using BitLocker Drive Encryption.
• Windows does not start, or you cannot start the BitLocker recovery console.
• You do not have a copy of the data that is contained on the encrypted volume
