Without the necessary decryption key, it is IMPOSSIBLE to recover data from an encrypted drive.

 

IF there was some kind of magical bypass, then there would be no value in encrypting drives in the first place.

 

You can use special software, and connecting the drive to another PC, to WIPE the drive so it can be reused, but there is simply no way to recover the existing data from the drive.
