I have recently installed a virus software which has killed windows and i am unable to repair and start it up in safe mode. I have taken the hard drive out of my computer and connected it to my laptop, it is fully fuctional and i can see all the data on it. However when i log into windows i used a user account with a password. This user account is where all the information i want to keep is kept. However i double click on the folder under documents and setting that has all my information in and because of the password it just says access denied. and doesn't give the option to add in a password. So i need a way to get this password off so i can access the files because the files are essential i can not loose them at all. The hard drive is NTFS formatted. Ceri

I must add when i right click on the file and go propertise. Security tab is not there or an option.
