I have an old hard drive with a damaged MBR possibly and I can access most everything on it via another computer except some profile specific files. The profile has a password. How do I get passed this?
I know the password.
Thanks in advance

If you also had them Encrypted you'll need to backup the encryption Key as well by following the directions here so that you can actually read your data and not just have a bunch of unusable junk
