Hello everyone.

About two months ago I encrypted some files on my pc. The
password is set to change every 20 days. I think I have
changed my password about 2-3 times already.
However, I am not unable to access those files whith I
had encrypted. I have the same user name and only thing
for me that changed was the password. I do not believe
this should prevent me from decrypting my files.

Is there anything I can do to decrypt my files. I look at
the permissions to the folder and naturally I have
permissions to the folder. I tried copying them to a
fat32 partition and still that didnt work.

PLEASE HELP!!!!!!|
