Explorer shows unlocked bitlocker encrypted drive as locked in Windows 10

I tried my luck with below steps and it worked for me.

Note: You can't access your drive from Windows Explorer to check your data

Walkthrough

• Go to run & type diskmgmt.msc and click OK to run it
• then right click on your drive & explore (it will show all your files in Windows Explorer)

Note: From Windows Explorer you can't access your encrypted drive it informs (the drive is already unlocked)

Walkthrough (2)

• First access Control Panel & go to Bitlocker.
• Then, very important, it will not allow to remove password of the drive.
• So now, click on change password option then type OLD password & then new password.
• After your password gets changed successfully then try to remove the password it will start decrypting your drive. It will take a very long time but don't worry.
