You cannot.
Once a file is encrypted using EFS, the only way to see its contents is to log into the account of the user who has encrypted it. If this is not possible (e.g., because that user account has been deleted or because the computer on which it is, is not bootable) you can consider the encrypted file(s) lost. Note that even re-creating the user account with the same user name and password will not solve the problem.
