So I might have found a way to break Bitlocker, to explain how it happened step by step:I have a windows 10 install and the main drive was encrypted with Bitlocker, using pin to unlock every time you power on the computer.I had a ram upgrade, which was causing instability issues, so I cleared the CMOS data from the bios.
