One possible fix is to delete a particular file while booting in safe mode. But then they'll need to fix each system manually. My company encrypts the disks as well so it's going to be a even bigger pain (for them). I'm just happy my weekend started early.
Yeah that would be case in most laptops. So if bitlocker is involved as well what could be the possible fix.
That would be funny
Yeah, most large orgs have a key server, or back up to AD. If you don't have that, and no recovery key, you're fucked and that data is gone.
What if that is running crowdstrike?
I'll give you one guess.
(That's why when I was in charge of that stuff at one company, I had that recovery key printed out and kept separately in a lockbox.)
Even if they do, though, if your business isn't 20 people at 1 location, it's going to be a giant headache to get people everywhere to fix them all.
You have ta have access to boot in safe mode too, I guess I can't on my work pc for example.
What a shitty workaround & might crowd strike burn in hell lol
Enjoy your weekend unless you are in IT
