Can you please elaborate on the process of unlocking a USB drive with BitLocker? I'm particularly interested in the steps involved and any potential challenges that one might face during the process. Are there any prerequisites that need to be met in order to successfully unlock the USB drive with BitLocker? Also, is there a specific way to ensure that the data on the USB drive remains secure while it's being unlocked?
