Did you back-up the necessary files BEFORE formatting?
If not, your data may effectively be gone for good:

If you know what the pw was, you stand a good chance ...

The password will not do any good without the necessary files if EFS was
used.

With the correct pw the files can be regnerated.

Tom;
Not if the files are encrypted.
Otherwise EFS would be worthless.
EFS is very secure when use properly.

Do not confuse EFS with NTFS Permissions.
