    Recently, my computer crashed - thankfully my hard drive was left in
    tact but all my user settings ect were wiped, so I had to reinstall
    programs and such even though they remained on my hard drive.

    My problem is that I had a password on my account and with the crash
    all the profiles were wiped, there still listed in C:/documents and
    settings, but It wont let me access the folder because of the password
    on it, and although I remember my password I can find no way to put it
    in and access my files.

    Can I either gain access using my password or remove the password from
    the account?

    The computer in question is a 5 year old dell, and at the time of the
    crash was starting to die anyway, so I now have a nice shiny new NEC
    desktop pre-made box.

    Anyway any advice on my problem is appreciated.
