Password protected file now Access Denied!
Do you mean that you used NTbackup, the program pre-installed=20
in XP Pro for doing backups, and you told it to limit access to=20 the backup to administrators ? --=20 Roger=20 "Alan" wrote in message = om... HELP! =20 A few months ago I put a password on a file containing my backup files for a little added security. I did this using WinXP Pro not a third party program. With a right click on the file, and going into the advanced section, I got myself in to trouble.The file was located on a second hard drive and formatted NTFS. Shortly after I set the backup file with a password my primary HD crashed and I had to reformat. All of my important documents were backed up in that password protected file though, so I felt secure. Now however, when I try to open that password protected file I get an error saying access denied. It doesn't even give the option of putting in a password. I have gone into the properties and done what I could to try and retrieve the file such as setting the file as a shared file etc., but to no avail. I keep getting access denied. Was the password actually stored on the HD that was reformated? Shouldn't the file open even if it was moved to another computer with the appropriate password? Are these files gone forever? Any help would be greatly appreciated. |
