Hi every body
I have encripted my personal folder in my personal user. Unfortunatly i had
forgotten the password. So that i had reset my password using admin user.
After that i could not open my folder. Please give idea to open all my folder
in OS WinXP

Did you follow best practices for the Encrypted File System - or just wing
it?
If the latter - likely all your files are gone to you.
