Compatible Tpm Cannot Be Found
got a Dell Latitude D620 that I just recently re-installed Windows 7 on. The BitLocker wizard reports the following error when I open it. A compatible Trusted Platform Module (TPM) Security Device must be present on this computer, but a TPM was not found... When I open the TPM Administration snap-in, it reports: Compatible Trusted Platform Module (TPM) cannot be found on this computer. Verify that this computer has a 1.2 TPM and it is turned on in the BIOS. the bitlocker encryption key cannot be obtained from the trusted platform module windows 10 So far, I have done the following: Verified TPM was turned ON in the BIOS Verified TPM was ACTIVE in the BIOS Verified TPM Driver was installed and appears in the Windows Device Manager and that it reported it was functional Verified there are no additional devices in the Windows Device Manager that do not have drivers, or appear as non-functional Uninstalled the TPM driver (Windows 7 default driver) and selected Delete the driver software for this device and re-installed the driver using the one from Dell.com Used the CLEAR TPM settings option in the BIOS Turned OFF the TPM in the BIOS, rebooted, and turned it ON again Something odd I noticed is that the TPM device does not show up under Security devices in the Windows Device Manager, it shows up under System devices. I recall it it being under Security devices in the past, and a couple of Google results confirm it should appear there. Is there anything else I can try to get this working? BitLocker is a company requirement, so I really need to get this working. Note: Before re-installing Windows 7, I had BitLocker enabled on this same PC without any issues. So, I know the TPM is compatible. windows-7 bitlocker tpm share|improve this question edited Aug 30 '13 at 16:44 asked Aug 30 '13 at 16:31 druciferre 2,81172547 I would request assistance with this problem from your IT

My colleague installed a new HD in a Dell Latitude 6420 and now the bitlocker is not able to resume bitlocker wizard initialization has failed protection.

Reply Quote 0 coliver last edited by Sorry, I don't have any experience with Bitlocker. Reply Quote 0 BRRABill last edited by Is it asking for a recovery key? In my experience with Bitlocker, if ANYTHING changes, it invalidates the key, and it will ask for your recovery key, which is a 30+ character code to type in. I found that out the hard way once by simply updating the BIOS of the server. Rebooted to a recovery screen.

Go into the bios to see if TPM is activated or deactivated. If deactivated, click activated, apply, exit and restart computer. Log in as admin, type in search bar "tpm.msc and select. On the far righthand side under, "Actions", see if TPM is initialized. If not, click on initialize to initialize it. Once you finished initializing it, the computer will ask to restart. After logging in, go to Control Panel, Bitlocker If the Bitlocker is turned off, turn it on and allow it

BitLocker offers volume-level data encryption for data stored on Windows clients and servers and protects the data when systems are offline (i.e., when the OS is shut down). BitLocker can prevent data breaches such as the theft of confidential corporate data on employee laptop computers. In previous Windows versions this protection wasn't possible without a third-party product. BitLocker can also offer an integrity-checking mechanism that makes the OS itself more resilient in the face of attacks. When BitLocker is applied to the system volume, it can provide a file-integrity checking feature that automatically assesses the status of boot files such as the BIOS, Master Boot Records (MBRs), and the NTFS boot sector when the system boots and before the OS starts. If a hacker inserts malicious code into one of the boot files or modifies one of the files, BitLocker will detect it and block the OS from starting. The first version of BitLocker had some shortcomings that Microsoft addressed in the newer OS releases. In the initial release, only a single volume—the OS drive—could be BitLocker protected. In Server 2008 and Vista SP1, Microsoft added support for BitLocker protection of different volumes, including local data volumes. In Server 2008 R2 and Windows 7, Microsoft added BitLocker support for removable data drives (e.g., memory sticks, external data drives). This feature is called BitLocker To Go. For an overview of the disk configurations that BitLocker supports, see Microsoft’s “BitLocker Drive Encryption in Windows 7: Frequently Asked Questions.” Server 2008 R2 and Windows 7 also
