    Hello,

    AFAIK, you cannot; there is no recovery info. There's still a chance I might be wrong.


    I'll send an email to driver guys and I'll let you know.

  • Sorry I'm OT now, but this made me really unsure. If there are stored recovery information to the filevault, that would mean there are a backdoor to the program. And that my friends is a huge security flaw in my mind. For a company aiming to be the best in PC and online security, I realy hope there's not any masterkey or backdoor to any of BitDefenders encryption services.

  • Hello everyone,


    Due to security reasons, the password chosen for file vault is embedded within that vault. If you forget the file vault password there isn't a way to recover it.


    Please feel free to contact us with any additional questions or concerns.


    Have a lovely day! :)

  • Thank you for sharing. Hope you will share more ideas and pictures, I wish you good luck.

  • Thanks. Since there's nothing else left to do here if we forgot the password, would re installation be the last option? smile2.png

    Hello,


    Reinstalling Bitdefender will not help recover the password for your file vaults. They are separate files.


    Thank you for your understanding.
