Hi Everyone;
i need help of ur expert technical skills. I installed windows xp professional on my system. one day i installed a software and the system went down so i installed windows xp home. Now they were some files in my e drive which were encrypted when i try to acess them i get a message that i dont have the acess eventhough i was the admisnistaror .Previously i created an administrator account using the name "chintoo" now this time when i installed xp home i created the administrator account in the name " prasanjit". I have located some encrption certicates in the c drive in the location documents and settings/chintoo/application data/microsoft/ system certficates/ my.
Now I went through an article and took the following steps to create a recovery agent
I) Click Start, Run, and type certmgr.msc to open the Certificates console.
2) Then i went to certificates Current User\Personal, and choose Action, All Tasks, and Import to launch the Certificate Import Wizard.
and imported the certicates form the location c drive in the location documents and settings/chintoo/application data/microsoft/ system certficates/ my. these certificates were created when i was using the user name chintoo.
when i was using the user name chintoo i never designated any other user as a recovery agent. so i imported these certicates under the name chintoo.
3)Then i closed the certificate console and tried to open secpol.msc but i got the message " windows cannot find secpol.msc make sure u have typed the correct name " I took this step becuase i wanted to assign the current user name " prasanjit singh" as
a recovery agent this time.
Now the real problem begins here even though i am facing problem with openning secpol.msc if im able to export back the certificate which i imported and stored by the name "chintoo" i will be able to decrypt it with elcomsoft software for data encrption recovery. The problem is whe i try to export back the certificate using the following steps
select [Tools], [Internet Options] and click the [Content] tab.
Click [Certificates] to open the Certificates dialogue box.
On the Personal tab, select the certificate which describes itself as the Encrypting File System. There may be more than one certificate, so choose with care.
Click [Export] to launch the Export Wizard, and then click [Next].
the certificate is not exported along with key asscociated with it all though i have installed the certficate in the trusted root certification authority store in the name of chintoo. all though the certificate has a private key asscociated with it this is the key i want to export along the certificate which i am not able to do so.
sir recovering these files is very important for me as they contain pictures of someone who was once very close to me. i would be obliged by ur expert help.
plz help
warm regards
