What is the error message you get when trying to access one of the folders/files...

I am not sure it is the same thing, but if your previous windows installation was password protected then it's users documents were locked.

Try this method for the above

If it's the "simple" ownership issue, Aitrusskyy showed you the solution.

But it sounds like you protected those files with XP's encryption. Forum rules preclude offering help to break encryption. If this is the issue, you'll probably need the help of somebody with the skills and tools and computing power of the FBI or CIA.

I cannot get into my user accounts Help!!!!

[WAQAS_WAQAS]

the error message is "The file is under use by some other application""Windows cannot access the specified path,device or file.You may not have the appropriate permission to open the item"

If i open the music files,they open in media player but they don't work and a message appears and if i open a picture file,it shows no preview...

I actually encrypted those files and folders in my last windows before formatting.

[Aitrusskyy]

Unless you have saved the certificates from your old user before having formatted you cannot open those files. How did you back up your data? Did you save your old user data?

See post #3 and read the forum rules.

Losing the data will cause me serious problems..

We could shed a tear for you, but the basic rule of data is to have at least two copies of anything important. And if it's encrypted make sure there is virtually no way of losing the encryption key.

[WAQAS_WAQAS]

the data is totally private,so breaking the encryption is not a crime...
Not on the forums,then on e-mail please.....But the data is totally private,I swear to GOD..

[WAQAS_WAQAS]

It's been more tahn 24 hrs since my last post & no reply,...........
please read my last post and try to help me.....

Maybe this is my last post in the forums if no help is given

[TerryNet]

What is it about my last post (#9) or the forum rules/policies that you do not comprehend?

We understand that the data is private. Privacy is the whole and only purpose for encryption, right?
