Hello,
Today I was going to check something on my Phillips GoGear Mix MP3 Player and I saw an option "Turn on Bitlocker" when I right-clicked on my MP3 Player's drive.
I turned it on and encrypted it successfully 100%. I wanted to encrypt it so as my brother couldn't be able to copy my songs from my player anymore.
After encryption I plugged out the Mp3 Player and I found out that it had prevented all files on the drive from being accessed by the Player itself too.
I wanted to decrypt it. When I clicked the option "Decrypt this drive", it kept on giving an error message "Parameter is incorrect". I eventually stopped trying and then I decided to switch off the mp3 player for a while and check the internet for some methods to recover.
When I powered off, three dots appeared and went and now the screen is stuck at "Power Off". I've tried everything I could do, I plugged it back into 2 different computers again and again, I pressed and hold all buttons on the player in hopes that it would start back again but it's stuck there.
Now, what I get is that I have to wait until the player's battery finishes then I have to restart it and find the way to get my songs back.
And, when I listen to songs at full volume on my big headphones with equalizer and display on, it works for more than 24 hours in one go. Even if the battery is zero it still works.
Now I would have to wait for a Month or so for it's battery to get drained completely. And I still don't have complete hope of getting my songs and data back.
Ill NEVER try any other such crappy software such as "bitlocker" ever again. Thank god I tried it on my MP3 Player before I was going to use it on my other 2 main drives.
Now, how do I get my data back once I restart the MP3 Player?
-Thanks.
UPDATE 1: I searched the internet more on trying to somehow reboot my MP3 Player. There was, as expected, a reset button on the MP3 Player next to the Headphone port. I re - setted the player, yet another problem that it's now stuck on the Main Screen. There's written "PHILLIPS" in large and bold text and it keeps flashing after 1 minute intervals. The MP3 Player cannot access the main startup files even after a reset, I believe it's GONE.
