   Locking by permissions is an OS-level feature.  If you move the drive to   
   another computer, the permissions on the drive are not valid or enforced   
   under a different instance of the OS.  The permissions under a different   
   instance of the OS are not present for the other OS.   
      
   Not sure what you mean by locked.  Do you mean Bitlocker was used to   
   encrypt the drive?  If so, you're not getting anything off that drive.   
   There is no backdoor to Bitlocker.
