Accessing files on hard drive (in enclosure) still protected by useraccount password

I am trying to rescue some music files on an old hard drive from a
friend's computer that doesn't exist anymore. I've placed the hard
drive in an enclosure and am able to see all the files.

Unfortunately, I cannot access his documents because he must have had
a user account with a password that is "protecting" his documents
(under documents and settings/Gary). Error message is "access denied".
Any
suggestions on removing the access restrictions and being able to read
the files. All I have is the hard drive, so can't log on to the
account and remove the user account passwords

Note, I can access all the other files on the hard drive, because
theyaren't protected by the user account password.

TIA

Hi, Lisa - please see the replies to your identical post in the other group.
In the future, please don't multipost - if you need to post to multiple
groups, it's best to crosspost instead, by posting a single message to a
handful of relevant groups (separate the NG names with commas) so that
everyone can follow the thread. Multiposting wastes everyone's time,
including yours, and may lead to your actually getting *less* help rather
than more.

http://www.microsoft.com/communities...=en-us&m=1&p=1

This Troll is going nuts but I like having a laugh G
Does your FBI/High-Tech Crime Squad have psychiatric Friend to sort you out?
I think you said it all by saying this:
Quotye from the TROLL Post
And once I get hold of someone like him,
I never let go... NEVER.
Well, maybe.
Someone stalked me in the Vista groups and
impersonated me until I finally backed off and
played nice.
It cramped my style, and so I came here to play.
WATCH OUT FOOL. Or you'll be next on my list!
/Quote
Another Quote from the Troll post
Remember, I have friends in the High-Tech Crime Squad who
have friends in the FBI!!!
I can make BIG trouble for you, you faggot!!!
/Quote
And another Quote from the Troll
Ask the little boys over in the Vista groups about me.
THEY can vouch for how BAD I am!!!
So you came here to upset the peace of this NG old fart lol
/Quote
and another Quote from the old Fart lol
And I'm a nasty old fart when I get CRANKED UP!!!
Be WARNED, faggot!!!!
end of Fartting g
What a TROLL!!!
I'm really cann't hold myself laughing on this Troll. I think we have a case
of sick minded person and need treatment.
Any psychiatric out there give us some advice and some medication to help
him out?
Thank you.

Useless at best if not harmful avoid his utter nonsense advice.
Hope you like your new name REAL TROLL RT previously known as Mick
Murphy.

Shame!!!

Thanks for the info on cross/multiposting. I'll use cross posting in
the future. I was't sure of the correct group. And I appreciate the
help.
