	You can access it if you have a second PC (desktop or laptop) and an external HDD hub. If you do, or if you can find the aforementioned : Remove your Hard Disk from your PC. Put your HDD to the external hub. Connect it as an external Hard disk. Access your data. Typically the passwords won't be active as your HDD will be an "external". It worked for me in a number of similar occasions.

	If the folder was made 'Private' when it was part of the old OS, all you have to do is take possession of the folder. Right click the folder, go to the securities tab, and add your (new) profile to the list. Make sure to give your user profile the permissions required while in the securities settings.
