Now after formatting, I have messed up my company (report) at my laptop then luckily I remembered that I have a https://www.windowsbbs.com/threads/lost-access-to-encrypted-files-after-reformat.95075/ back-up of it in my desktop. I opened the folder unzip the compressed files then poof it says "access denied--no archives found" ofcourse I am shocked because I remember I have accessed the files before formatting desktop!. Digging in, I remembered enabling the encrypt contents function I clicked details and it was set to my old username (before reformat) I clicked add and select my new username then an error pops up "EFSADU--Error in adding new user(s). Error code 5." GREAT! now I cant access more than 100 compressed company files in my backup storage! is there anyway to work around this issue? I really need them, thank you nkt3310, #1 2010/09/10 rsinfo SuperGeek Alumni Joined: 2005/12/25 Messages: 3,639 Likes Received: 138 Trophy Points: 843 Location: New Delhi, India Computer Experience: Experienced but ! en Sorry nkt3310, I don't know any way to access data other than to create the same SID [Security ID] on the computer with which the data was encrypted. Windows & all OS work with SID's & not user name, so even if you are successful in creating the same user, its SID would not be same & you won't be able to access the data.
