In XP Home you have to boot in safe mode to see the security tab. In XP Pro

I had a hard drive go down. I added a new drive to my machine and reloaded
everything. I can get to the old drive but the files I need. The user
was
password protected so the files are unaccessable. How do I remove the
user
password on files on the second drive?
