BitLocker Drives Unlocker provides you with an application to simplify the process of unlocking BitLocker encrypted drives. BitLocker Drive Encryption is a Microsoft security technology that can be found and utilized in Windows 7 (Ultimate and Enterprise editions), 8 (Pro and Enterprise editions) as well as Microsoft’s server platforms (2008, 2008 R2 and 2012).
