WHAT DO I DO IF I GET THE BITLOCKER SCREEN?


You should be able to retrieve the key yourself by following the steps below.

  • On another PC log in to your Office 365 account (If you do this on someone else's device then open the Edge browser and open an 'In Private Window' or use a Wyse terminal and go into your VDI account)
  • Once there go to:  https://account.activedirectory.windowsazure.com/r/#/profile  
  • (NOTE: for some reason, when this page loads it sometimes opens: https://account.activedirectory.windowsazure.com/r/#/applications instead - if that happens just change the word 'applications' to 'profile' and hit enter to load the correct page)
  • Click on Get BitLocker key and make a note of the RECOVERY KEY number displayed - this is the number you must enter into the BitLocker screen on your device
  • Once you've entered the BitLocker Recovery key on your device just follow the onscreen instructions, your device will re-start and you will be able to log in as usual
