Problem importing .PFX file
Hello guys, I am in a trouble, hoping for some help.
I had encrypted my important folder on Windows 7 and the type of file that was exported was .PFX
Then after due to a reason (it's a long story), I reinstalled windows 7 on partition containing old windows 7.
Now, I can't access my encrypted files. I understand that this is due to loss of old profile under which I encrypted my files. But I have got that .PFX file with me (I had to use a recovery tool). I know the SID of old profile. I don't have old profile folder though.
I just hope that it's possible to decrypt files when I have got .pfx file and SID of corresponding profile under which I encrypted files. When I double click on that .pfx file it says it can't recognize the file type (or something like that). I can't import it either. Please help me
Note: Even after changing permissions, taking ownership etc etc, I can't even copy those files! I can't even upload them anywhere, they are stuck there permanently (access denied, always).
