Greetings Wise Ones!

I'm sooo sorry if this is here somewhere, but I can't find it.

I had a homeless family live with me and I gave them access to my computer. I used XP share to prevent anyone from getting into my files. I save all of my files on my desktop and bypassed mydocuments.

My computer broke down. Completey.

The hard drive is good. I can slave it to another computer in the house, but I'm told, "access denied." I can't open, view, move, anything at all!

I can't find anywhere to give my password to get to my files. Does anyone know how to get to my old desktop and files? They have to be on this drive!

Gads! I'm in big trouble next week if I can't get to them!

Best!
Elf
