    My computer broke down recently, and I could not recover it, so I made a new windows xp. On the old windows xp, I had 2 different users; one with a password and one without. Now in the new windows xp, I can access the folders from the user without the password but when i try to open the folder from the user with the password protection, it shows up as access denied. Can anyone tell me how I can get into the folder of the user who had the password protection? I hope i explained it clear enough.
