- Recover files from a password protected user folder
- Posted by Rbtkmp on March 22nd, 2006
My daughter's computer crashed with an unrecoverable Windows XP registry. I
installed a second hard drive and reloaded Windows XP onto the new drive
inorder to salvage files on the original drive. The directories are viewable
however my daughter had a password protected user account and I cannot access
the "My documents" folder to get important files. My access is denied and I
cannot use her password since I have a newly installed Windows running. Any
suggestions to work around the corrupted Windows drive?
