Why cant administrator access all files?

[WhiteRP]

I have some very serious problems, first I used system restore to go back to an earlier restore point. Where I lost my user account, and now even with my administrator account I cannot access my folder that was the lost users' folder. And system restore has no restore points to be able to go to.
Actually the only thing that reassures me that the files in the folder still exist is under file transfer wizard I can see the files, but cant transfer the files anywhere .

So basically what I'm asking for is a way to access the folder, I have an administrator account, the OS is WinXP, but I willing to give anything a shot, I need that folder .

Thanks for any help

Trying changing the security settings for that folder to allow the admin to access it. Right click the folder, go to properties click on security tab, and try adding the administrator. Give the admin all the permissions while your at it.
