Many years ago I encrypted my secondary harddisk with BitLocker but I also encrypted some of the files on the hard drive as well. I still remember the password so I can unlock the harddisk and access most files but somehow I'm not allowed to access some specific files which I also encrypted. It says that I don't have ownership of the files and therefore can't access them.
Someone else used the computer for some time and formated the main hard disk and upgraded to Windows 8 from windows 7 thus the loss of the windows user/ownership
Is it possible to access the files or are they lost forever?
I've managed to recover a few files from the previously installed windows folder: Users/Eivind/Appdata/Roaming/Microsoft/SystemCertificates/My/
There's 1 file in the "Certificate" folder and 2 files in the "Keys" folder.
What they all have in common is that when I open them in notepad they have the same interesting Code(I think it is a code?) which is finished with the text "Microsoft Enhanced Cryptographic Provider v1.0"
Could this code potentially help me access them?
