That is because you chose the "Make my documents private" option on your account.

Try a live linux distro instead. Or can you get in long enough to remove the password on your account?

Yes. Put the disk back in the pc, blank your password, take it out and it will be readable in the other pc.

You may find that you just need to take ownership of the folder/files ..... see here for more

Yes, I think the security ID is used to enforce privacy. I guess no password means no checking of privacy. Pointless in an OS that doesn't use that ID though. (Linux?)

I expect you just need to take ownership of the files as philthomas said.
