User is Disabled

[mae123 0]

Hello, I encountered an issue with my company laptop using ESET Full Disk Encryption. Multiple tries of entering password and until I encountered user is disabled. When I get the recover password still user is disabled. I tried to decrypt the eset still not works. Can you help me regarding on my issue

Hi @mae123,

This is a common issue when the BIOS Disk Mode / SATA Mode is set to RAID rather than AHCI, please do the following:

1. Change the BIOS Disk Mode / SATA Mode from RAID to AHCI
2. Important: Change this mode back to its original state once decryption has completed.

If the above fails please attempt the following:

Attempt to decrypt using the EFI USB version of the ESET Recovery Utility: https://help.eset.com/efde/en-US/recovery_data.html instead of the WIN RE USB method that I assume is being used at this time, as it is the default instructed method to use on the KB.

Thank you,

Kieran
