Guest AndyInIndy Posted August 29, 2007 Posted August 29, 2007 I have bought a new computer, and gotten rid of my old one already. However, I have installed my old hard drive into the new computer as an addtional drive, and is working properly. However, my "My Documents" folder is locked, due to having a password-protected username on my old computer (this hard drive). How do I unlock this folder, from my new computer, while operating under the operating system of the new hard drive and new computer?
