Unable to get into my slave drive documents

[Guest]

I had a motherboard go ...so I replaced it without using my master drive.....I used a new drive(because I would have had to reformat)......I had put administrative security on my old drive(forgot to take it off) (which protects my documents)I used the new drive as a master and the old as a slave....now I cant get into my documents and I cant even reformat.How do I get around the administrative security......or do I have to put the slave as my master and totally reformat that way(thereby losing all may documents anyway)
