I CAN'T ACCESS MY PROFILE

[Brollysj]

HI I NEED SOME SERIOUS HELP!

My problem is a little complicated

This is my scenario, I have a 2.4MHz laptop with WindowsXP and SP1, that it
used to be part of XYZ.com Domain, when I had my laptop join to the Domain I
went to my profile and deleted every other user from the security tap
excepted my network login for XYZ.com. (FYI_ I did this because I caught a
few of the administrator trying to connect to my PC over the network)

Now my problem is that I left the company I forgot to add another user to my
profile and I removed my laptop off the XYZ.com Domain

Since I left the company and my user account was deleted, that SID is gone.
I spoke to one of the Administrator to recreated my account and to let me
rejoin the Domain but it didn't work (I rejoined the network through VPN).
Even after doing this I couldn't get into my files because the server issued
my account a different SID than the previous one.

I also try to give another user rights to that folder and subfolder using
NTright.exe but it didn't work. The error message was that the SID was
missing or to add the SID for the user.

I will really appreciate if someone knows of some software or a way to hack
back into my folder and give access to another user so that I can access my
old profile.

I have about 5 years worth of work and lots of software under this profile.
Feel free to reply if you need more info and with the answer to my nightmare

THANK YOU IN ADVANCE

As long as you can log into the PC with Admin rights you
can right click on the profile name go to security tab,
advanced, and then to the owner tab, click on your new
username and take ownership of the files.

sumthin' doesn't sound quite legit here......anyway...use your backup files
for the data....format and reload XP and applications....
but like I mentioned...sumthin ain't quite right here....

I should of mention that I also try that and it didnt' work. After doing
that I was able to get access to the profile folder but not to the files and
subfoder inside

My backup files where in a IOMEGA external drive and that HD died on me 2
weeks before this happen

Make sure when you take ownership you check the box on the bottom to apply
it to subfolders and files.
Sounds like you missed that the first time.

Guys last night I reloaded WinXP in to a separate folder, after doing this I
was able to take full ownership of my profile. I guess that my old install
was corrupted some how beacause it never allow me to take full ownership.

Thank you all for your great help
