Ease of Getting Data On Self-Encrypting Drive From Screen-Locked Windows 7/8 Computer



Hypothetical: a Windows 7 or 8 computer has a self-encrypting hard drive. It is stolen with the power on, but with the Windows lockscreen on. Are there easy off-the-shelf ways to access the data on the drive? All of the password recovery mechanisms I see for Windows 7/8 appear to require a reboot, which would drop the decryption key from RAM. I'm not concerned with intelligence-agency stuff so much as what would be available to the average petty criminal.
