Corrupted user account on XP

[LP]

Hello

My main user account on XP is somehow corrupted and I cant open my encrypted
files any more. Is there a way to restore the user account or to decrypt the
files?

Thanks
LP

LP,
Have you tried logging in to the Admintrator account?
Win XP Home:
- Restart the computer. As computer boots . continually press the F8 key
- On the 'Windows Advanced Options' menu, select 'Safe Mode' > Enter
- When asked, select Windows XP Home > Enter
- On the 'To begin, click your user name screen', click Administrator
- Type the administrator password (same as the user's logon password) >
ENTER
Note: If you don't use a password, leave it empty

WinXP Pro:
-Log out of the account you are currently in (don’t restart or shutdown)

-hold down the 'Ctrl & Alt' keys and click the 'Delete' key twice

-enter Administrator as the User Name, enter password if you have one (same
as your user name password)

-Log in

-Try your encrypted files now

Sure there is, use the backup of the encryption keys that you made. Oh, you
don't have one? Well, there is nothing that can be done now.

Next time DO NOT Encrypt any files.
