RE: Decrypting files--Access Denied

what type of files you trying to decrypt ??
What method you trying to decrypt??
Can you tell me how did you encrypt those files earlier ?

If you have encrypted those files using the encrypt files options in the
WINDOWS XP then

You might need to log in as the administrator in safe mode and then take
ownership of the child account (Account Name) on which the files were
encrypted and then restart the computer after which you will be able to see
the account name
in userpasswords2 .Now access the folder you should be able to access..

gotten encrypted to begin with, I had not changed this.If someone could help
me, I'd appreciate it.
