    HI I NEED SOME SERIOUS HELP!

    My problem is a little complicated

    This is my scenario, I have a 2.4MHz laptop with WindowsXP and SP1, that it
    used to be part of XYZ.com Domain, when I had my laptop join to the Domain I
    went to my profile and deleted every other user from the security tap
    excepted my network login for XYZ.com. (FYI_ I did this because I caught a
    few of the administrator trying to connect to my PC over the network)

    Now my problem is that I left the company I forgot to add another user to my
    profile and I removed my laptop off the XYZ.com Domain

    Since I left the company and my user account was deleted, that SID is gone.
    I spoke to one of the Administrator to recreated my account and to let me
    rejoin the Domain but it didn't work (I rejoined the network through VPN).
    Even after doing this I couldn't get into my files because the server issued
    my account a different SID than the previous one.

    I also try to give another user rights to that folder and subfolder using
    NTright.exe but it didn't work. The error message was that the SID was
    missing or to add the SID for the user.

    I will really appreciate if someone knows of some software or a way to hack
    back into my folder and give access to another user so that I can access my
    old profile.

    I have about 5 years worth of work and lots of software under this profile.

    Feel free to reply if you need more info and with the answer to my nightmare

    THANK YOU IN ADVANCE
