decrypting efs file

I assume that you never created a backup key or recovery agent as would have been suggested when you first started using EFS.

The way that Elcomsoft and other data recovery experts attempt to recover encrypted files is to search through the system's hard drive for information that they can use to recreate the decryption key. If you threw away the laptop and its system drive and
all you have now is the encrypted file itself, you're out of luck.

From Elcomsoft's explanation (Advanced EFS Data Recovery | Elcomsoft Co.Ltd.):

You can always email or call Elcomsoft or one of the other data recovery firms, but I would expect them to tell you the same thing.

 

How to decrypt/recover files that were corrupted during the EFS encryption?

During the encryption of file using EFS, the user cancelled the encryption process resulting EFS to stop midway during the encryption. Now, the user is unable to decrypt the file using his user account and recovery agent. Is there another way to decrypt/recover
the file?
