On my Windows 10 second PC I have an additional SSD which was encrypted by default with Bitlocker using no password or secure key.
Because that PC started to show some other hardware problems I tried to backup that drive using other PC running Windows 7. -> Because drive didn't mount in Windows 7 showing that it is encrypted with Bitlocker (I didn't even know about this), I mounted it back in my Windows 10 machine and using manage-bde -off E: command I tried to fully decrypt it.
And for no reason that Windows 10 PC doesn't work anymore I pulled up that additional SSD and tried to continue to decrypt it under Windows 7 but it doesn't work.
Forgot to say that it stopped just when decrypting it. From time to time (just a few minutes and it stops again --its main SDD is bad!) that Windows 10 PC runs with no problem and I mounted it back to try to continue decrypting it. manage-bde -status says that is is 35% still encrypted but when I try manage-bde -off E: it takes a few seconds and stops again.
I need to decrypt this SSD and I have no idea how to do it.
I tried to do it on a Linux live USB using criptsetup and also dislocker but it gives the following error every time:
Cannot parse volume header. Abort.
Then switched back to Windows 7 PC and trying to continue to decrypt it here but it shows me this:
manage-bde -status BitLocker Drive Encryption: Configuration Tool version 6.1.7601 Copyright (C) Microsoft Corporation. All rights reserved.

There is no password.
How to decrypt it, please?
Thank you in advance!
P.S. It is seen in Windows explorere and also in linux file explorer but no access:
