My laptop died. I bought an external usb enclosure for the hard drive. I can access every folder on the drive except the my documents folder for my username. I was the primary account on the computer. How do I get access to this folder???

Try booting that hard drive off a bootable O/S like Linux Knoppix, or Bart PE. Knoppix can be downloaded for free as an .iso and burned onto CD. Once you do that there will be an icon on the desktop called hd1 (hard drive 1) from there browse to hd1 -> docuements and setting -> your user name -> my documents
Good Luck

If you had a password on your user account and protected your files from others looking at them then you cant access them from another machine without removing the password first, if possible boot the drive and remove the password, if you cant do that then you will have to find a software program that removes passwords, there are plenty on the internet but they arent always user friendly . . .

you're being locked out of the folder while you evaluate that's safeguarded with password Login into the laptop the place you have hooked your HD as exterior HDD as administrator then attempt to get admission to the folders. If this would not help i assume loggin in to secure Mode ought to help you.
