TPM_E_LOCKED_OUT

TPM_E_LOCKED_OUT means the TPM has entered an authorization lockout state, normally as anti-hammering protection after too many failed authorization attempts.

What to check

  • Stop repeated attempts and identify the incorrect authorization source, PIN, or policy.
  • Check the device lockout state and use the organization-approved TPM recovery process.
  • Do not clear the TPM just to make retries possible; clearing removes TPM-resident keys and can cause BitLocker or identity recovery work.
