HELP! I saved all my passwords and pin numbers plus bank details etc. in a Word2000 doc which I password-protected. I then placed it in a WinXP encrypted folder. When I try to open the folder, all I get is "Access Denied"

Can anyone help me get at my data?!

The above link will tell you all you need to know about the Encrypted file system and establishing a Data Recovery Agent. As far as the password goes once you have assumed ownership of the folder you could assume ownership of the file and that should enable you to open the document.
Cheers!
