The files showing in green were encrypted by the old user, which is why
giving the new user local admin rights did not grant access to the files.
It sounds like you figured this out in the best way possible - now, you can
knock the user back to regular user rights. If there are other other
encrypted files, you'll want to grab those with the old user's login. Don't
use the admin account to force a password change on the old account or
you'll lose access to the files.
