Is this work computer or Home computer? You can use the Windows Administrator account or any admin account to remove the password from that account, then all files in that account will be available to be read or edit by any users on that machine. There is a password retriever app but try the above first. http://home.eunet.no/~pnordahl/ntpasswd/ HTH, nass -- http://www.nasstec.co.uk

Log on as Administrator (in Safe Mode if you're running WinXP), then reset the forgotten password.

A password "retriever" would tell you what a forgotten password is. The nordahl boot disk won't do this.

Woah there tiger! Be careful. I know that the OP was rather terse, but there is a possibility that the file is protected by the File Encryption System. If the OP has not taken a copy of the encryption certificate, changing the password will ensure that the file is irretrievable for ever.

Guest John John (MVP) Posted September 12, 2008 Posted September 12, 2008 Re: read files from another user with password log on Don't forget the Rainbow Tables... For passwords with alpha characters only the table size is 500 MB or more. For a simple alpha-numeric password you need a 3+ GB table. Using special characters like !@#$%^&*()-_+= the table will be well over 20GB and using other characters like ~`[]{}|\:;"'<>,.?/ will push the size of the table to more than 60GB! Of course for the table to run efficiently you almost need as much RAM as the size of the table itself. Pesky little details...

Guest 3c273 Posted September 12, 2008 Posted September 12, 2008 Re: read files from another user with password log on You can take ownership of the files. (Open help and search for ownership.) Or you can reset the password for that particular user with the boot disk found here. http://home.eunet.no/pnordahl/ntpasswd/ Louis "----nikos 4000----" <nikos4000@discussions.microsoft.com> wrote in message news:D3EE6632-6DCA-4556-AA1E-4CBFB9EA1C05@microsoft.com... > hello > in my computer there are 3 users > we forgot the one password > how can we read the files??
Guest Andrew Posted September 12, 2008 Posted September 12, 2008 RE: read files from another user with password log on If it isnt encrpted, you can just log on to an admin and move the files.

That true nordahl not a password retriever, I was thinking about the Nirsoft but it was for Emails/MS..etc not a windows Account password retriever. But the Troubleshooting method still Valid and the way to proceed for the OP! Thanks for the correction. nass --- http://www.nasstec.co.uk

What have you forgotten the password to? The user account - log on as admin and reset user account password, or take control of the files using security tab in file properties. User files - are they just password protected or encrypted? If they are just password protected you might be able to find a program to help you around this. If they are encrypted you will need to remember the password. I'm not sure about this since you need the key on the disk to decrypt them. Some other password protected thing? Please be as specific as you can.
