lost encrypted data?
I reformatted my disc, reinstalled XP SP2, and restored user files from a
..bak file to a newly created user account (the original account is gone). One restored folder is EFS-encrypted. I have the exported .pfx certificate that was used to encrypt the files, and I have the associated password. I successfully imported the certificate to the new user account, but the encrypted files remain inaccessible; I get "Access is denied" when I try to open any of them. Should importing the .pfx have given me access to the encrypted files? If not, is there anything else I can do to recover them, or are they lost? (I did not take any recovery measures other than exporting and backing up the ..pfx certificate.) |
