Locked out: If Bitlocker does not recognize your password
With the help of Bitlocker I encrypted an external hard disk. The first time I tried to decrypt it with my password, the nasty surprise followed. The password was not accepted. The reason for this is that I used a password of more than 100 digits and Microsoft does not consider it necessary to inform the user during the initial encryption that Bitlocker will only use the first 100 digits for encryption.
