You forgot the password ?
Restore from backup.
No backup? Hard luck. Don't know why ya'll use folder locks and what not only to forget the password. Jeez at least use something like lastpass to manage your passwords.

Did you use folder lock software or that old folder lock .bat file ?
If it is the .bat file there is a way to retrieve files.

try to boot using safe mode, if this isnt works than use some linux distro live cd and boot the pc using it and then you will be able to access those files.
good luck...

If locked via folder lock in windows.

Try and open the files using a linux live cd, and if you don't have a live cd, try opening in safemode. Most basic file/folder locks fail to run at safemode. If it uses encryption, there is less chance for you to recover it. Try the software's forum fr details then.
As everyone suggested earlier, Linux LiveCD is your best option now.

If your data is not in your c drive than install new windows it will delete folder lock also and you will be able to access your files.

I don't know how people are able to see files locked via folder lock in Linux. AFAIK if you forgot pass, there is no way to recover it until and unless you made a back up.
