## Unlock a drive
If you connect a drive as a secondary drive to a device, and you have your BitLocker recovery key, you can unlock a BitLocker-enabled drive by using the following instructions.
In the next example, the `D` drive is the one to unlock. Select the option that best suits your needs.
#### [:::image type="icon" source="images/powershell.svg"::: **PowerShell**](#tab/powershell)
```powershell

```

#### [:::image type="icon" source="images/cmd.svg"::: **Command Prompt**](#tab/cmd)
```cmd
manage-bde.exe -unlock D: -recoverypassword xxxxxx-xxxxxx-xxxxxx-xxxxxx-xxxxxx-xxxxxx-xxxxxx-xxxxxx
```
For more information, see [manage-bde unlock][WINS-1]
#### [:::image type="icon" source="images/controlpanel.svg"::: **Control Panel**](#tab/controlpanel)
You can unlock the drive from the Control Panel or from Explorer. After opening the BitLocker Control Panel applet, select the **Unlock drive** option to begin the process. When prompted, enter the 48-digit recovery key.
