    How can I retrieve encrypted files from old hard drive


    My computer died last week, there seemed to be an issue with the motherboard so the technician removed the hard drive and made it an external HD. Fast forward to now, I can plug in the external to my new laptop and retrieve copy files but not ones that were encrypted saying I don't have permission. Is there a way to get these files given that the data all seems to be there?

    :)
