Make two folders, /media/bitlocker and /media/mount:

sudo mkdir /media/bitlocker /media/mount

Download and then extract Dislocker.

(http://www.hsc.fr/ressources/outils/dislocker/download/)
Install some needed packages:


sudo apt-get install libfuse-dev
also needed this: "sudo apt-get install libpolarssl-dev" - otherwise make would fail

Change directory to the dislocker/src folder:

cd dislocker/src

Then install dislocker:


sudo make
sudo make install

Identify your encrypted parition:

sudo fdisk -l

Now you can decrypt using:


sudo dislocker -r -V /dev/sdaX -p1536987-000000-000000-000000-000000-000000-000000-000000 -- /media/bitlocker


You should replace "1536987-000000-000000-000000-000000-000000-000000-000000" with your recovery password.

OR if u dont have recovery password,decrypt using your user password:

sudo dislocker -r -V /dev/sdaX -uPASSWORD -- /media/bitlocker

You should replace uPASSWORD with your User password.

Now mount the file:

sudo -i
cd /media/bitlocker
mount -o loop dislocker-file /media/mount

Now you can move to the /media/mount folder and see your decrypted data.
