How do I Transfer Data files from Old Accounts?

I have a 4 year old computer which came with Windows XP Home Edition.
Lately, it had become unstable (re-booting frequently for no reason) and very
slow (click Start, wait 2 seconds, click Shutdown, wait 4 seconds). So I copied
all of the data files, including a LOT of music files, to another computer on my
LAN. Then I re-installed Windows XP.
Judging from the still almost full hard drive, the old files are still on the
drive. In "C:\Documents and Settings\" I can see the folder for my old account.
But I cannot access this folder from my new account, even though at the Windows
login screen it says Administrator under my name.
On Unix systems (Linux, etc.) there is a super-user login which gives one
absolute control of the computer. Is there some kind of super-user login in
Windows XP so I can move those files from my old account to my new account?
