Do you have a backup of the key i.e. export?
Otherwise, try to login as local administrator of the machine, which by
default should have access (as Recovery agent).

Did you follow proper procedure and export your certificate and private key
and keep them in a safe place?
If not.. *poof*, gone.

If you do not have the necessary ORIGINAL files, your data is as good as
gone.

Unfortunately if Windows was reinstalled, then the local administrator on
the new installation won't be a recovery agent

True for his case, since he mentioned 'reloaded', which presumingly means
reinstall. Thanks for pointing that out Colin.

Also, for XP Pro in a non-Domain environment, the "local admin" is not
automatically designated a "recovery agent" (which was true un Win2k Pro),
it is a manual process.
