This bypass is local/physical access, so you could get the PIN via keyboard logger.

Since this is a windows backdoor you can safely assume that they also have something for bypassing your beloved PIN. I have been making this joke for years now that bitlocker should be renamed as WPE = Windows Potato Encryption.

Anyone who thinks that windows is secure or private in 2026 - "You just need to un-check some settings and edit the registry and your golden" is simply delusional. What a farce of an OS.

Nightmare-Eclipse has released YellowKey, a fully BitLocker encrypted disk bypass for vulnerable Windows 11 and Server systems. The hack leverages code left behind in the WinRE recovery environment to unlock encrypted disks without knowledge of the encryption keys.
