    Lack of access to encrypted files after reinstalling Windows


    Hello everyone, my previous Windows got into trouble and I had to change it! I had a series of important files and tried to encrypt them encrypt contents to secure data! But now that I try to open it, it can't and it says no access! Well, dear friends, I want to know what to do with this problem! These files are also very important and I really need them! What is the way to access these files?https://drive.google.com/file/d/12sm4g7n8JEC_7F5nrS0mPwSaeuYRCP0Z/view?usp=sharing, https://drive.google.com/file/d/1D_KG0PvmU8ylV8FXulT_4nNYKPUX_I79/view?usp=sharingIn the figure above, you can see tha

    Software encryption

    read this:
    The Encrypting File System (EFS) is a file system driver with filesystem-level encryption available in Microsoft Windows (2000 and later) operating systems, except Windows XP Home Edition, Windows Vista Basic, and Windows Vista Home Premium. The technology transparently allows files to be encrypted on NTFS file systems to protect confidential data from attackers with physical access to the computer.

    User authentication and access control lists can protect files from unauthorized access while the operating system is running, but are easily circumvented if an attacker gains physical access to the computer. One solution is to store the files encrypted on the disks of the computer. EFS does this using public key cryptography, and aims to ensure that decrypting the files is in theory impossible without the correct key. However, EFS is in practice susceptible to brute-force attacks against the user account passwords. In other words, encryption of files is only as strong as the password to unlock the decryption key.

    Software encryption

    You expect people smart enough to reset your password to have physical access to your computer and care enough at the same time to bother?
