need help with protected files
Posted by Federico on March 26th, 2006


I had a problem with my windows XP who came with my PC. ( A blue screen with
a stop error that I coulm't fix). I decided to instal a new Windows XP in a
different Hard disk and have the old Hard disk as a slave to be able to save
my files.
The problem is, I can open the files on my old Hard disk because my User
session was protected by a password. I know my password but Windows dosen't
even ask for it.

there is any way to open my files?

I really aprecciate any help. ( sorry about my English, it's not my fisrt
language.)

Assuming that the files weren't encrypted, just take ownership of them:
