Access Denied on slave drive

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance

I have a friend's hard drive that is going bad. He needs his files backed up.
So I connected his drive as a slave drive on my computer so I could just copy
them to my system and back them up to DVD. The problem is that the files he
needs are in his My Docs folder, and I can't access them because he has a
password on his user account. I have the password but it doesn't allow me to
enter it, it just says Access Denied. Is there a way around this?
