Hello I decided a while ago that it would be a good idea to encrypt my files with personal information on my external hard drive using the windows utilities. About a month ago I wiped my OS windows 7 and did a clean install and now I am having the problem where I have suddenly been locked out of my own files and I'm never asked for the pass code to the files.
One thing I have noticed is that it said the certificate expired 2 weeks ago so I tried to update it and either I did it wrong or that just didnt work.
Also the user name on the pc was changed vs the one on the certificate so i thought maybe if i changed my username to my old username it would authenticate correctly but that didnt work either.
Any suggestion on how to get access to my files would be greatly appreciated because I need to get an address out of one.
