I recently ran Windows Setup over itself on an XP
machine. Setup went fine and the machine runs better.
However, the previous installation was password-protected.
Now when I try to open those folders from Windows
Explorer, I get "access denied" messages. I've tried safe
mode, I've tried to boot to the XP CD and even at the
command prompt I get the same errors. I have to be able
to access the old data.

Can anyone give a hint on how to get into the old data?
Thanks!
 
Thank you! This worked great! Kind of a pain, as I had
to go folder-by-folder and reset all the permissions. But
worth the time!
