Access Denied

[Guest]

Hey, I recently reinstalled XP on my cousins computer.
She had a folder which she protected, and now after I
have reinstalled XP, it wont let me into that folder at
all! How do I get in???

Cheers,
Aaron

Hi,

Assuming she did not encrypt it, this should help:

HOW TO: Take Ownership of a File or Folder in Windows XP [Q308421]

If she did encrypt it, she will need the original encryption certificate or
a recovery agent from the original installation. Without them, the files are
lost.
