Usage

bitlockcli [files/directories] -t <time>

files/directories - the files or directories you want to lock/unlock separated by a single space.

time - the amount of time (in seconds) until the file will lock automatically. Defaults to 5 minutes.

Example:

bitlockcli testing1.txt testing2.txt

Example with timer:

bitlockcli testing1.txt testing2.txt -t 800

In the case where the timer was set for too long, bitlockcli can also be terminated with Ctrl-c and the opened files will lock.
Note: if the cmd prompt is closed instead of Ctrl-c, the files will not lock by themselves.

Changing Passwords

To change a password, you can run:

bitlockcli testing1.txt --change

From there, you will be prompted to enter 2 passwords: the first one is the previous password for the file, and the second one is the new password.

Example:

bitlockcli testing1.txt --change
Enter the file's password:
********
Enter the new password:
******
Locked file(s) successfully.

Incorrect Passwords

On an incorrect password, bitlockcli will say that the password is incorrect for the given files.
