I have a folder, that through no fault of my own, was encrypted by someone else using my computer. This was fine for awhile, as I was the user that could acess the files contained in it. But because of an accident, the user account was deleted and I can no longer get at the folder no matter what I do. I have tried several methods of decrypting, but even with an admin account I can’t do anything without that user account. Is there a way to recover the user account or forcefully decrypt a folder without being the user? I’d rather not have to use system restore. This is Windows XP.
Thanks.
