Private folders problem

[niordachescu]

On my Win XP Pro a user selected the "make folders private" option. I reinstalled Windows but kept the old Documents and Settings folder. I recreated the same account (same name same password) but now I can't access that folder that was made private.
please help! what can i do? is there any way I can get to those files? Is there any software that can access that folder now?
Thank you!
