Okay i made the mistake of encrypting my backup files and folders on my secondary harddrive using the built in windows feature. Now after I've reformatted my primary HD, it wont let me access the files, nor will it let me decrypt them. There are alot of very important files there so I really need to figure out a was to decrypt them. Any suggestions? I'm hoping theres some sort of way within windows, but if theres a program I can use taht would be great. thanks!
Download the demo of this program. It should fix your problem. http://www.elcomsoft.com/aefsdr.html Otherwise, you're pretty much in trouble. You can only access the encrypted files with the account that encrypted them or any other accoutns that were given access to them in advance.
