Windows device encryption is a security feature in Microsoft Windows that helps protect your data by encrypting the system drive. If device encryption is enabled, only authorized individuals will be able to access your device and data.
NOTE: Because BitLocker is an encryption security product, Dell neither stores nor has the ability to provide a recovery key. Dell cannot circumvent the Microsoft BitLocker Recovery key process. Dell devices are not encrypted when shipped from the factory.
NOTE: If the sensor is getting tripped repeatedly, you may need to hard power-cycle the machine.
Power-Cycling
