My son fried my motherboard by moving my power cord from a UPI to a cheap power bar and it will cost more than the computer is worth to repair it. My hard drive is intact I have it in a hard drive shell with usb contection. My problem is that my computer had an administrative password on start up Windows xp and it won't let me access any of the data in my documents folder. I have tried tochange it to a shared file but it won't change. My computer store says the only way to access the files is to fix my computer. I also can't access the ms pubi**** file as the computer I am trying to use doesn't have publi**** I have lost orignial cd. I jsut want to save the file for when I purchase another publi****.Will data recovery work?
thnx Kim
