If you’ve turned on BitLocker encryption on a fixed or removable drive, you can choose to unlock the drive with a BitLocker password. When your BitLocker password is compromised, changing the password should be a top priority. In this tutorial we’ll show you 3 ways to change BitLocker password in Windows 10 \/ 8 \/ 7.<\/p>\n

  1. Right-click on the BitLocker encrypted drive in Windows Explorer, and select Change BitLocker password<\/strong> from the context menu.\n

    \"\"<\/p>\n

    \tNote:<\/strong> if the encrypted drive shows a gold lock on the icon, then you can’t see the “Change Bitlocker password<\/strong>” option in the context menu, and you need to unlock the BitLocker drive<\/a> firstly.<\/p>\n

    <\/p>\n<\/li>\n

  2. Enter the old password, followed by the new password (entered twice), and then click Change password<\/strong>.\n

    \"\"\n<\/li>\n

  3. You would be shown a message that the password has been changed successfully in the same window.\n

    \"\"\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    2. Expand the drive for which you want to change the BitLocker password, and click Change password<\/strong> from the list of options.\n
