Making backup files on another computer.

Guest

So my computer is not working, but I want to backup my documents. I took out
my hard drive and put it in another computer as a secondary drive, but when I
tried to open my documents on this computer, it said access is denied. (I
believe this has to do with my old computer being password protected)
