Recovering data from an encrypted drive can be tricky, but you're right that using tools like the BLR Bitlocker Data Recovery Tool can be extremely helpful, especially if you've forgotten the password. I've had to deal with similar situations a few times, and a tool that can scan the drive and preview recoverable files can be a real game-changer. Just a word of caution: always ensure to use trusted software to avoid potential security risks or data loss. Additionally, it's a good idea to back up important data regularly to minimize the impact of such issues.
On a related note, have you considered setting up a recovery key beforehand? For Bitlocker, having a recovery key stored safely, whether with a trusted contact or in your Microsoft account, can prevent a lot of stress down the line. If you need further guidance on setting that up, feel free to ask!
