I had to fully re-install Win XP following a bad download that kept crashing everything, but the old Administrator file hasn't wiped, and it will not allow me to access this now due to the old password protection. The error message said that -- "file name" cannot be opened. Access is denied --
When I go into "My Computer - Documents and Settings" it lists all three of the old files (identities) that were created, and only allowed one to be deleted. I now have a stranger name for the main identity and cannot just use my name which was obviously easier. On top of this, the files contained in the old identity are still there but cannot be accessed due to the password protection. Is there any way this can be overwritten, I have setup the new config with the same passwords and settings, but have no way of opening the old files, it doesn't even offer "enter password", it just comes up "You are not this user. Access is denied".
All thoughts fully appreciated
