I have a Windows XP that have crashed. I am trying to recover the
data from each user's profiles under C:\My Documents and Settings and
rebuild the OS from scratch. To get to the data, I had to build a new
XP OS on a spare hard drive then mount the original as secondary. I
was able to see the all the data on the drive accept for three of the
four user's profiles. When I tried accessing these three profiles, I
get a "Access Denide" message. I found out that these three account
originally had a login "password" set. The account that didn't have a
password set is accessible.

Does anyone know how to work around the access denide problem?

Any advise would greatly help! :-)
Thank you!

I have tried login in as administrator, and also recreate the exact user's
accounts matching those profiles and granted these accounts administrator
rights..but still cannot access. Am I missing some steps?
