Unless your user is a (common) domain user on both computers, the name/password
on the users on the two local computers are of no significance.

I might be mistaken, but I think you can export the encryption key/certs from
the first computer and then import them into the second to be able to access the
files from both computers.
Exporting the encryption key/certs and storing them in a safe place (multiple
copies/multiple media) is a smart thing to do as well, in case your OS
installation crashes and you can't get it up and running again. Without the
exported key/certs, your files will be lost forever (unless you are in a
domain).
