Hi, as you my have seen from a few pages down my PC died last week and its been nothing but trouble to get up and running again, I've even had to buy a new Hard Disk as there was too much data to lose to a format! However now I have the new Windows installation up and running I want to get my old 'My Docs' back across from the old install on the old hard drive (now the slave). However my old account had a password on it so I'm now getting a 'D:\Documents and Settings\Chris is not accessible. Access Denied' error. Obviously this is proving a problem! I can understand if the mods want to delete this post as it would be essentially hacking help that I'm asking for! Obviously as it was my acount I know the password but Windows isn't giving me the option to enter it. Are the any utilities or even commands within windows that I can use to gain access (using the password) to this folder. Obviously if there are 'legal' way of doing this they would be prefered to avoid the post being killed!!!

Thanks

Chris.
