Best Answer

A user account is set up on a laptop in order to protect the user's computer. It is the first step in a detailed security system that begins with the requirement of asking for a password prior to one gaining access to the computer's contents, including the desktop, apps, and the installed browsers.

How do you copy files created in password protected account on a desktop PC after that main drive has been attached to a laptop as an external hard drive?

I am not sure if there are any other solutions, but the most direct one is to create a user on the laptop with the same user-name and password and the same access level (administrator/regular-user), as on the desktop computer. Then login as that user on the laptop and the files should be accessable. Also, with an administrator account on the laptop, you may be able to "Take Ownership" of the files on the external drive. If the files are encrypted and you don't have the password, this won't help. I don't know the effect if the two computers have different versions of Windows, a lot could depend on this. Kevin
