Hi.. I have gotten a new SATA Computer and I have out my
old hard drive on the IDE cable. I need to access my backed
up files in c:\documents and settings\username but I never
removed the old password I had to use to login.
Now I can't boot from the IDE drive as my old registry is
gone (some huge I/O error) and I need to get the files out.
I have the password, I just can't seem to enter it anywhere
to get the access i need.
Can anyone help?
You need to disable Simple File Sharing and take ownership of
the files. Take a look at these articles for more info:

Note: If you are running Microsoft Windows XP Home Edition, you
must start the computer in safe mode, and then log on with an
account that has Administrative rights to have access to the
Security tab. To start in Safe Mode, reboot your computer and
start tapping the F8 key as soon as you see anything displayed
on the screen. Keep hitting F8 until the Advanced Startup
Options menu appears. Use the up and down arrow keys on your
keyboard to select Safe Mode. Hit Enter.
Good luck
