"Account Unknown" may be displayed when the security descriptors on
disk objects no longer can be "connected" to an actual account in
the security database. You are currently looking from an
Administrators Group account?
and it is grayed out so I can not copy its settings to a new
user. I really wanted the data from "My Documents" under this
account but I can not see it using the Search or Explorer. I
searched the regedit for the Sids and I DONT see "Account
Unknown" under "profileimagepath" but I expected that. I see an
account labeled: "My Name" and "My Name.OFFICE" where Office is
my computer name. I do see that in the explorer but the my
doccuments folder is empty.
Can I do a more powerful search for that data I need? The
"Account Unknown" user profile is 3.8 GB big so there has to be
something somewhere I hope.
Not all that clear so far, but can you "see" the actual profile on
disk (Docs and Settings)? Top-level folder at the least? If so,
you should be able to adjust the security descriptors (ACLs) of the
entire tree by first taking Ownership and then applying (w
propagation downward) new ACLs granting Administrators Group
members FULL control. This will permit the recovery of the data
files.
There are some scenarios where this might not work but you will
need to supply more information. Such as, the operating system,
file system, stand-alone system or a member of a Domain, etc. A
malware-free system is assumed at this point. Consider explaining
"what happened" as best you can instead of "how do I". It might
help here.
