Hi Guys,

I am using Windows Vista, since yesterday for some weird reason my computer refuses to allow me to log-in into my domain profile it logs me into a temp profile instead. Since I didn't have the time to troubleshoot the root cause I attempted the workaround solution. I logged in with local admin and then removed the profile sids and then attempted to rename the existing user profile folders but Vista wouldn't allow me to do that. Dman !!! Vista :mad:

I had to create new profile and then move settings. Nyways that brings me to the actual issue on hand right now. I have Folder Lock installed on my machine and had a locker folder created under Documents folder under my previous profile. Now with the new profile I can't see the Locker folder under the previous profile hence can't recover the data inside. The folder was locaked with Folder Lock ...

Now how do I find the folder and unlock it back ? Can anyone help ?

^^^ I've searched and read the above link already but my case differs, first I haven't formatted and reinstalled my OS second I have folder lock already installed and accessible all that has happened is that I can't log-in to my profile hence need to get access to the locked folder from my new profile (On the same computer same existing installation of OS and Folder Lock).

Dude,forget the case.
That thread describes how to get access to your locked files.
Use it and get it done.
