>> Please help!
>>
>> I have 2 computers and I transferred one hard drive from one to the
>> other. I did have a password set on that drive as you entered Windows XP.
>> Now on the other computer, the harddrive's folders show up but ACCESS IS
>> DENIED to most including My Documents because I must have encrypted it at
>> some point I think. Or is it the password that's causing it to be
>> accessed. How do I bypass/get rid of the passwords/encryption? I hope
>> that my explanation is clear enough.
>>
>> Thanks for any tips.
