Password release

[Guest]

I have bought a new computer, and gotten rid of my old one already. However,
I have installed my old hard drive into the new computer as an addtional
drive, and is working properly. However, my "My Documents" folder is locked,
due to having a password-protected username on my old computer (this hard
drive). How do I unlock this folder, from my new computer, while operating
under the operating system of the new hard drive and new computer?
