Retaining the recovery key/password
The recovery key/password is generated during BitLocker setup, and can be saved and printed after
BitLocker is enabled. When using BitLocker, always retain the recovery key/password. The recovery
key/password is required to enter Recovery Mode after BitLocker detects a possible compromise of
system integrity.
To help ensure maximum security, observe the following guidelines when retaining the recovery
key/password:
• Always store the recovery key/password in multiple locations.
• Always store copies of the recovery key/password away from the server.
• Do not save the recovery key/password on the encrypted hard drive.
