Default Mounting a VHD

And this sort of thing happens quite randomly.

How do I show the Bit locket password-entry field?



Picture at 50% down on the page, matches your description. Failure to mount.
Notice that they managed to get an icon in the second picture, to show,
but this might be the "success case" where it did prompt, and they got
an opportunity to add a password.

This article has a command line invocation. There's no proof it produces
a prompt, but you can try it. It smells of Powershell. The path string
needs quoting because of the space character in the username.

Mount-VHD -Path "C:\users\Peter Jason\Downloads\some.vhd"

I still don't see any option which is somehow "guaranteed"
to do the right thing. Looks pretty flimsy and breakable.
While there is a command... you can be our tester and test it out.
