Unable to decrypt HDD, does not recognize admin user/pass

    Greetings,

     

    I've come across a laptop running windows 7 32 bit, as well as Endpoint Encryption. I am able to log into SEE with the administrative credentials, but then Windows loads the Windows Recovery Tools, clearly the OS needs a rebuild.

    I would like to run the GuardianEdge Access and Recovery utilities, however the following happens when trying to run them:

     

    1. Running the GEHD Access Utility
      1. The GE Admin credentials are denied, “invalid username/password”
    2. Running the GE Recover Program
      1. I am able to select the disk, perform a “recover /a” and then select “Recover /d”
      2. Once I am at the login screen within the utility, I receive the “invalid username/password” issue.

    Does anyone have any guidance on what may be causing this?

     

    Thanks
