Bitlocker. Error recovering disk D: The recovery key you typed is not correct.

Dear EE

Please can someone assist with a BitLocker issue.

I got a laptop that had a hdd that has been encrypted with BitLocker and the recovery keys are stored in our AD.

Problem is that every time this laptops boots it attempts a startup repair but it cannot proceed because it keeps asking for the bitlocker key which I have typed in several times and confirmed that it is correct.

Here is the error message:

Ok. But the identifiers match? Perfectly sure that you entered the numbers correctly?
If so, could it be that it is not win7 after all, but win10?
entered in perfectly. Its windows 7 for sure
And my other question? Did you double check the ID (2467...) in AD?
yeah i did. its correct:

Recovery Password:
               598686-105369-408584-176440-
               487432-011627-074844-590018

running a repair-bde to an external drive. seems to be running. fingers crossed
Recovery key:
598686-105369-408584-176440-487432-011627-074844-590018

On your screenshot you have: 011626 for the 6th set of numbers

Sorry, but you entered the wrong key, that was the problem.
Even entrering the correct key did not resolve the problem. the only was to use repair-bde
