my notebook comp failed, but am accessing HD via a USB
device on the desktop. I had protected my documents folder
and now cannot access it via the desktop. Is there a way I
can access it by using my old password? - or anyway at all?
both systems use XP --
thanks
blessings!

You need to disable Simple File Sharing and take ownership of
the files. Take a look at these articles for more info:

Note: If you are running Microsoft Windows XP Home Edition, you
must start the computer in safe mode, and then log on with an
account that has Administrative rights to have access to the
Security tab. To start in Safe Mode, reboot your computer and
start tapping the F8 key as soon as you see anything displayed
on the screen. Keep hitting F8 until the Advanced Startup
Options menu appears. Use the up and down arrow keys on your
keyboard to select Safe Mode. Hit Enter.
Good luck
