FVE_E_POLICY_RECOVERY_PASSWORD_REQUIRED

FVE_E_POLICY_RECOVERY_PASSWORD_REQUIRED The effective BitLocker policy requires a numerical recovery-password protector for this drive, but the current request did not create one. The deployment or manual setup must satisfy the mandatory recovery method before protection can be enabled.

What to check

  • Confirm the drive category targeted by the policy and whether a numerical recovery password is required before encryption starts.
  • Add the required recovery protector using the approved management workflow, then verify that it is present.
  • For managed devices, confirm that recovery information is escrowed to the organization’s approved destination before relying on the drive.
