deleted account, but documents are still there?

my computer was recently taken away to be fixed, all
accounts were gone and new accounts had to be created.
all the documents from previous accounts can still be
found but access is denied, does anyone know a way of
restoring an account or gaingin access to these
documents? thanks any help appreciated
