XP Password Protected Windows Accounts

My problem..

My old pc will not power on. The power supply is tested
good, narrowed problem down to either mootherboard or
CPU. Decided to purchase a new computer, so I slaved my
old Hard Drive into the new computer.

One of my accounts on the old Hard Drive was password
protected. And when I try to access anything from My
Documents to IE Favorites & Desktop I get a "not
accessible" "access denied" error.

Anyone know how I can migrate my old documents on a
slaved Hard Drive to my new pc?

This article describes how to take ownership of a file or folder
to which you have been denied access:
