My friends Pc crashed

He has another person try to extract it and he coudlent, he tried recovery console and wouldent work and then resinatlled windows without format. Now there was three users on the computer and the 2 users that were non administartor were able to be recovered. But when we try to get his data we cannot and it says it is protected.


How do i unprotect this, It is finals in college and its important and final papers were on there
 
If you have it in another machine, chances are you can change ownership on whatever folders you're trying to extract. Log in as admin on whatever machine you have the hard drive in (most likely another PC) and change ownership and security on the folder(s) to include admin (how you are logged in) Make sense?
