Maybe you can help me. My laptop died and I had many files on the hard drive
(not all backed up). I bought a hard drive enclosure and it works fine on my
desktop as an extra drive except that the "My Documents" folder on the laptop
drive was password protected. I cant find any place to enter the password
nor do I know how to get around it so I cant get into the folder which has
all the important info. Any ideas? If possible please respond to
adrogen@yahoo.com.
