hi guys,

I am stuck, I encrypted some files (very imp) in Windows XP. Later due

to some reasons, I reinstalled the OS (Windows XP) ,a complete fresh

install. Now the problem is XP does not allow me access these files -

says access is denied - even though I am logged in as administrator. I

have already tried taking ownership, but yet no sucess. I understand,

this that XP understands I am not the owner (its some aplha-numeric

owner (previous it was administrator) - which got delete during

reinstall).

now, How do i decrypt these files or take ownership - I just need these

files. Pls help me.
