The repair-bde command gives access to the encrypted data on the hard disk seriously damaged if the drive is encrypted using BitLocker. The repair-bde command can reconstruct important parts of the drive and 'rescue' the recoverable data, as long as the recovery password you provided is valid, or the recovery key is used. Use to decode data is correct.If metadata (metadata) BitLocker on the drive is corrupted, in addition to the recovery password or recovery key, you will have to provide a backup key package.This lock package will be backed up in Active Directory Domain Services (AD DS) if you have used the default settings for backing up AD DS.With the lock and password recovery package and recovery key, it is possible to decrypt each part of a BitLocker-protected drive if it is damaged.Each lock package will only work for one drive with the corresponding identifier.You can use the BitLocker password viewer for Active Directory to retrieve this key package from the AD DS.
Note:
The BitLocker recovery password viewer is integrated as one of the optional management features that can be installed using server management (Server Manage) on Windows Server 2012.
The following restrictions will exist for the Repair-bde command line tool:

-pw
Determining the password will be used to unlock the disk set.This command can also be specified as -password
-kp

Example repair-bde command
In this example, a user tries to edit drive C and writes the contents from drive C to drive D using the recovery key file (RecoveryKey.bek) stored on drive F and writes the result of the test. this into the log file (log.txt) on the Z drive.
repair-bde C: D: -rk F: RecoveryKey.bek -lf Z: log.txt
In this example, a user tries to edit the C drive and writes the content on drive C to drive D using the specified 48-digit recovery password.Recovery passwords must be entered into 8 blocks of each six-digit block with hyphens to separate between blocks.
repair-bde C: D: -rp 111111-222222-333333-444444-555555-666666-777777-888888
In this example, a user forces the C drive to be removed and then tries to edit and write content on drive C by using the recovery key package, and the recovery key file (RecoveryKey.bek) is saved. stored on drive F.
repair-bde C: D: -kp F: RecoveryKeyPackage -rk F: RecoveryKey.bek -f
In this example, a user tries to edit the C drive and writes the contents from drive C to drive D, he must type the password to unlock the C: drive when prompted:
repair-bde C: D: -pw
