How to recover encrypted hidden folder by "Hide files and folders"?

jakax · 10-16-2007, 02:39 AM

Hello

My bad to try this software (www.softstack.com/hff.html) to hide an important folder in drive D, then I gotta reinstall the operating system for a hard-to-solve trouble. When I reinstall the software, I just could not see my folder any more. Please help me, I need those 2GB data back

Thank you so much

Hi and welcome to TSF

You should be able to access the files with a password, just run the software.
TSF doesn't assist in password cracking/other hacking activities (although I'm sure you don't need to hack..)

hi,
I can't access it with the old pw, that's the problem

Did you reinstall the OS on the same drive?

This is what I get from Yahoo Answers:
If you used EFS without a recovery policy, you'll never see that data again.

I sent emails to the company that owns this software, but they did not reply.

I reinstall OS on the same drive, yes, partition C.
