i don't think that microsoft have provided a tool for the decryption of data kill, just for dehashing the passwords, if microsoft had put in back door in, it would be very very stupid....

I think they would kindly do it for the authorities, its the way to play the game of life to be seen as helping the end users privacy while enabling the government to get a hook into our drives when they need, it really would not surprise me at all
