I'm using Microsoft XP os, and have encrypted some of my
files on the computer,from the Administration account.
After that I have reset my password two times for my
account ,and tried it.But after that, I had surprised
that I cannot open any of my Encrypted files , it say's :
* Access Denied (for txt files)
*Windows cannot access the specified file. You may not
have the appropriate permissions to access the item.

I had tried to access those files from all the accounts
in my computer but this didn't work.I read some of the
help files about certifications and public and private
keys and recovery agents,but I could not do anything of
this because I don't know what and how to do it exactly.
I will be very appreciated if you could tell me how can I
recover my files back,is there any method to do this.I
still have the userkey file created from the second
password reset dist wizard.

Prehaps you should have read the help files BEFORE encrypting your
files soto understand the risk involved.
