Hi,

I have my fixed data drive (HDD) suddenly locked by bitlocker by itself.
I have two drives, one (SSD) which has two partitions such as C with the operating system and D drives, and the other (HDD) which is E drive for data storage. When I resized the partition in the SSD to modify C and D drive partition sizes, my E drive abruptly got inaccessible due to the bitlocker, although the OS was Windows 11 home edition.
As it was locked by itself, I do not have any passwords or recovery keys associated with my Microsoft account. My OS was Windows 11 home edition which as far as I understand does not have the function of bitlocker. As such, there was no bitlocker disabling function on the control panel.

Hoping to unlock the E drive, I bought the Windows 11 Pro version, however it was impossible to unlock it from the control panel or the command prompt.
Since I have saved important data in the E drive, this really upset me.
I would really appreciate any kind assistances.

Thank you.
