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.
