I bought a new hard drive for my computer and left the
initial hard drive intact. The initial hard drive's
contents were put on the new drive prior to formatting
the old one. The new hard drive has a folder that I had
password protected on the old hard drive. It doesn't
show up that it was password protected, and doesn't ask
me for my password. When I try to open the txt files
within it tells me Access Denied.

Is there a way to get my information back?
