No need, no possibility even, to enter the password.
What exactly are "the wi(n)dows system files"? Do you see folders also? If so, what folders?
I have removed the hard drive from my old conputer that had a failed motherboard. it was the system drive. it is loaded with files I need to save such as pictures, videos, tax info etc...the usual.
when I hook up a USB to hard drive rescue kit, it reads the drive no problem, but all that is showing up is the widows system files. it looks as if there are no other files on it which I know is not right.
I am guessing that since it had a admin password on it, that it will not show any files until I input that password somehow...am i correct? could this be why the files are not showing up? if so, how can I input the password thru the USB interface I am using? thanks much for your help...james
