    Error: 0x80071771, The Specified File Could Not Be Decrypted While Accessing A Video File On An External Hard Drive.

    Hello , So i have this very very old hdd and i am looking for an AMV video i did yeaaars ago. It may be somewhere inside it , but when i try to look at some files i can't cause they are locked.

    Tried Iobit , tied to unlock them (uncheck the encrypted property) , but i can't access them.

    It says Error 0x80071771: The specified file could not be decrypted.

    This hdd had windows xp on it. I am using Windows 10.

    ***Edited Original Title From: Access denied , Files locked.***

    Hi Iman,

    Error message 0x80071771 means that you need to restore the file encryption key in order for you to decrypt the encrypted files. On the other hand, you can still try these steps and see if it will work:

    • Right-click the file or folder that you want to decrypt.
    • Click File ownership and click Personal.

    Feel free to contact us if you need assistance with Windows.
