Guest jamatthebeach Posted September 11, 2008 Posted September 11, 2008 I just had to preform a OS only restore and have lost access to my original account. I can view it by going to "Explore all users" and all of my data is still intact, but the profile doesnt register through the normal "user accounts" applications. The biggest problem is that all of my data (on both hard drives) has become unaccessable. When I try to open the folders I get an "access is denied" message. I have tried creating a new account and changing the path to reflect the location of the old profile, but it doesnt work. Any help would be greatly apprieciated! -- Jason
