Windows 10: How Do i Access My Old User Account?

This is more in-depth than my subject line implies.

So i bought a new computer with Win10 x64 on it. Recently. Created a new computer name for it, but kept my Microsoft ID that my synced accounts have (online, the old one, and the new one). I was going to pull the data off the old one and utilize the drive for external storage (there is nothing wrong with the drive at all, and it's not even that old). It is currently hooked up as an external drive to the new one via SATA. Now, i can access quite a few things on it, but the one crucial thing i can't get to is the old user name in the Users/ folder. It is NOT hidden. I do have administrative rights, and it looks like i have the rights to access the folder. But i can't. Meaning, the entire folder will not acknowledge access at all. I can left or right click on it and nothing happens. All the other folders i can click on and get into. So that of course means that any and all documents/downloads/musics/videos/saves that are under that username i can't access at all. Why? What am i missing? There's got to be a way. And i was wondering if that has to do with the Microsoft account. As in you go online and see all the devices that are attached to the account you're using. Is that what is preventing me from accessing it? Online it says that username is still active and good, as is this new one. Should i have given this new one the same name? Too late for that.

In any case, can someone point me in the right direction or tell me what i missed?

To delete an account, follow these steps:

1. Press WIN + X keys and click Command Prompt (Admin) from the menu.
2. Type the following command and press Enter. Replace test with the name of your sister's account. Code:

User accounts in VB2005 from MS Access

Access has a list of words not to use as column names, but if you must, you'll need to use brackets in your sql statement. I'm unsure of the list of words, but the line of code appears valid. Try using this:

Dim sqlString As String = "INSERT INTO USERS ([USERNAME], [PASSWORD]) VALUES ('" & usernameString & "', '" & passwordString & "')"

Perhaps its password that's causing the issue.

You could also try renaming the columns within the access database. I ran into this issue when I used the word time as a column name.
