'My Old Disk Structure' folder

[Guest]

After a reinstall of XP, a folder called 'My old disk structure' has been
created, but the folders of the users with passwords on the old disk
structure are in accessible. The error message "Access Is Denied" appearing
when access is attempted, obviously because they were previously password
protected. I know the passwords for these accounts becuase they were mine,
but there is no way of entering them. How do I access these folders?

Thanks.
