FVE_E_POLICY_PASSWORD_REQUIRED
FVE_E_POLICY_PASSWORD_REQUIRED means an organization policy requires a recovery-password protector before encryption begins. The correct response is to meet the policy requirement, not to weaken or bypass it.
What to check
- Review the effective BitLocker policy for the selected OS, fixed-data, or removable-data drive class.
- Create the required recovery protector through the approved management workflow.
- Verify that the recovery information is stored in the organization’s intended location before relying on the encrypted volume.
