I'm having the same problem. When I open the password inside of Avast it gives me this error 0x800900BU.

I'm afraid that there is no simple and maybe even possible solution for your issue.
Our product is designed to be secure so we don't have any mechanizm how to reset the password on local storage. There is also implemented copy protection so even if you recover files they are not simply transferable  to another windows installation.
If you would have synchronization enabled, you could start from scratch recovering data from backup but it is most likely not your case.

If you successfully recovered your HDD does that mean that you able run Windows and login to windows account you have used before?

If so then you shouldn't see such error. If you would use Microsoft account for login to windows then you should be able copy the data and you should be able unlock it.

This error typically occurs when someone else that the users changes user's password for windows account (typically admins can do that)
