Hi guys, i got a disk image encrypted with bitlocker,
my client sent me the recovery key file so i should have what i need to decrypt it.
(i do not know the operating system of the encrypted drive)
So far i've tried mounting the img with OSFMount and then i used manage-bde on the mounted drive like so"manage-bde.exe -unlock G -RecoveryPassword "recovery_key" "but all i got wasERROR An error occurred (code 0x80070057)
The parameter is incorrect.
i tried to use dislocker but it didn't work out, im not sure if have operated correctly with this tool.
i'd like suggestion on how to solve this issue and decrypt the inage so i can continue the investigation, many thanks,
Sahar.

You are aware of the difference between Recovery Key (keyfile initially stored to a removable drive) and Recovery Password aka Numeric Password (printed or stored to an arbitrary file system)?

Yes, i used the numeric password
XXXXXX-XXXXXX-XXXXXX-XXXXXX-XXXXXX-XXXXXX-XXXXXX-XXXXXX
We had this error before with bitlocker, for some reason manage-bde.exe is looking for a system partition + the original Windows installation partition as well.
What version of Windows encrypted it? The latest versions of Windows 10 introduced XTS method of encrypting which previous version of Windows can't deal with.
I noticed though that you also tried dislocker and the latest version of that CAN cope with XTS so I can only conclude they have given you the wrong BitLocker Recovery Key.
