FVE_E_INVALID_PASSWORD_FORMAT

FVE_E_INVALID_PASSWORD_FORMAT means that the entered BitLocker recovery password has an invalid format. A BitLocker recovery password is a 48-digit value, not a normal account password or a recovery-key filename.

How to investigate

Check that all eight groups of digits were copied from the recovery record for the affected volume.
Use the recovery key ID displayed by BitLocker to select the correct recovery record when several are stored.
Do not disclose recovery passwords in tickets, chat transcripts, or unprotected logs.
