Access to folder password protect from previous Windows XP..

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.windowsxp.security_admin (More info?)

Try the following:
Start in secure mode with Network (F8)
Login as Administrator (good chance the password is empty!)
Now you can change the ownership of the files (and also clean out the old
user accounts)

Be careful.
