Hi there Bradley,
Have you tried enabling the default,built-in Administrator Account to access the Boot Folder? Doing this should allow you access.
There are a couple of ways to do this:
1. Go into Safe Mode and Log in as Administrator and you should be good to go.
Alternatively, in Vista/Win 7 can use this method:
1 Control Panel>Administrative Tools>Computer Management> Local Users and Groups.
2. Right-click the Administrator account and select Properties.The Administrator Properties window appears.
3. On the General tab, clear the Account is Disabled check box.Click OK. Administrator access is now enabled.
Or you can do this,To Enable built-in Administrator Account:
1. Open a elevated command prompt>type net user administrator /active:yes, push Enter
2. Close the elevated command prompt.If you do not see the message,"The command completed successfully", repeat the step.
3. Log off from the Start Menu and you will see the built-in Administrator account next to your current account(s).
4. Click on the new Administrator account and log on.
To Disable the built-in Administrator Account:
IMPORTANT NOTE: Make sure you are not logged into the built-in Administrator account when trying to disable it. You must be logged into a normal administrator account to do this. It will not work if you try to disable the built-in Administrator account while you are still logged on to it. So log off the built-in Administrator Account from the Start Menu and log on to your own account.
1. Open a elevated command prompt>type net user administrator /active:no push Enter
2. Close the elevated command prompt.If you do not see the message,"The command completed successfully", repeat the step.
3. Log off from the Start Menu and you will see the built-in Administrator account next to your current account(s).
4. Click on your account account and log on.
NOTE: If you are still unable to enable the built-in Administrator account from here, then try this again in Safe Mode instead.
FINAL REMINDER:Make sure you are logged on to your own account before disabling the built-in Administrator account.
Cheers,HTH,
