OK here is the story...
My mum's monitor failed (unknown to her) and was turning the PC on and off all the time and eventually (she assumed it was the PC at fault) when a new monitor was hooked up it turned out that Windows was hosed
I ended up installing Windows on the same partion in dual boot fashion to preserve the user account documents and all is well as far as my mothers old user account is concerned on the original installation which can be accessed through Explorer as she did not use a password to access it.
Now my old account has a user password which I cannot enter and there does not appear to be any way I can do this? I just keep getting denied access to my old account.
Any tips of how to get into my old account and transfer my files to the new installation?
Thanks in advance
