Hey Guys-

Not sure where to post this, but I'll try here.

My son died recently and left me his computer which I know houses a couple of hardware cryptocurrency wallets, among other information, photos, etc. I'm no computer expert like he was, but I was in the process of clearing his Windows password using Ubuntu and chntpw. I got to a point, but then could not access the hard drive because he had it protected with Bitlocker. He had a notebook with 4 different Bitlocker Recovery Passwords, which I attempted to use via Command Prompt, but none of them opened the drive, so I'm guessing he had a more recent password on the drive. I know this is a longshot, and everyone here will be resistant to assisting me to hack a computer, but it's very important to me, so I'm looking for any advice, information, or assistance that might help me get into the computer. Thanks.
