System Admin Error

[Guest]

I have been reading all the ways to fix a system when the system decides to
lock you out of things even when you are the administrator and I have tried
the majority of the suggestions. So far nothing has worked. I did enter safe
mode and create a new admin account for me, but my problem so far has been
getting it to see all of my files from the old account. Most importantly I
can't seem to get it to find my Money2005 file. Can someone please let me
know how to make sure I don't lose the info in the old account when switching
and deleting the new one. I have tons of pics and music and docs that i
can't afford to lose.

Where you kept your files was a personal decision. We would have no way of
knowing the location you chose for your files.

If you just cannot get to them - then you likely are getting the 'access
denied' message and merely need to take ownership of the folders in question
so you can properly access said information and copy what you need out of
the profile...
