At my work, most of the windows laptops have full disk encryption so I
asked a coworker for some info. She started her laptop on battery and
let it sit at the encryption password prompt for about 30 minutes and
nothing happened. She also told me that she has seen other laptops at
the office that were probably auto rebooted on Friday and were still
waiting at the prompt on Monday.
I should point out that I think this is the Mcafee disk encryption, not
bitlocker, so that might be different.
