Windows password/account question

Daughter's computer is on the blink - may be a simple recovery or maybe worse, not sure yet. Anyway, one option was to connect the HDD as an external via usb as we have the leads and copy everything before we fry it in any repair. We can access the disc easy enough but she has a passworded account on her pc. So (her name) 'my documents' folder says it is not accessible. Obviously, in this mode there is no password entry option as there would be if she booted it up in her own machine. Any ideas before we stick it back in her PC and try booting from it again.
