I've tried AEFSDR but it doesn't decrypt the files.
I don't know if its useful to say that i have encrypt them with my domain
user account so is there any chance to decrypt them using active directory or
to find my old SID and replace the new with the old?

Your only possible hope here is that you still have access to the default
domain recovery agent certificate which is issued to the local
Administrator account on the first domain controller installed in the
domain.
Use the built-in backup program to backup and restore the files to your
Windows 2000 domain controller (if you have more than 1 DC then copy it to
the first one you installed) and log on as Administrator. If the recovery
agent certificate still exists and if it was the one used when encrypting
the files you'll be able to open them. If not then all of your files are
gone.
