Rob;
You probably don't.
If you did not back-up the encryption key or Recovery Agent and are
not on a domain, the files are effectively gone.
Administrator access and profiles have little to do with it.
EFS is very good at what it does and there is no back door.
Read and understand this document before using EFS:
