Some may remember when I asked about this a long time ago. I still haven't found a way to crack EFS. To refresh, I encrypted some files and then decided to reinstall Windows soon after. I backed up the files but foolishly didn't unencrypt it first. Now I can't access the files at all and haven't been able to for a year or so. I've found programs that claim to be able to crack them given enough time but it seems the one I tried at least needs the public key from the machine. I only have the user name. I don't care if it takes a year to crack, does anyone know of any new software that can take care of this? THe files are stuck on a hard drive that I would really like to be able to use for other purposes. And I'd love to get my files back as well! <!--EZCODE EMOTICON START :\ --><img src=http://www.ezboard.com/images/emoticons/ohwell.gif ALT=":\"><!--EZCODE EMOTICON END--> <br><br>PS... here's the latest program I tried: <!--EZCODE AUTOLINK START--><a href="http://www.elcomsoft.com/aefsdr.html">w ... <!--EZCODE AUTOLINK END--> <p><!--EZCODE IMAGE START--><img src="http://www.camerasupport.com/oV/mavsigr ... <!--EZCODE IMAGE END--></p><i></i>
