Solve : How do I get my files from a crashed Computer?

Answer»

I had a Emachines T3958.  The mother board crashed.  I bought an external case and cable for the CPU, but I can not retrieve the data files on it.  The Emachines had a pass WORD but I am not given the opportunity to enter it.  I am "denied" access to the files. 

Is there a METHOD available to access the files from the old CPU?

THANKS HunterIf it was your machine and you did some work on it how did you lose the BIOS password ? ?
Just curious...Hunter - WELCOME to the CH forums.

Do you really mean Hard Drive instead of CPU?   If you can access your hard drive via a usb connection on your second pc then you MAY have to take ownership of folders/files in order to access them.  Please click here.

Good luck.

p.s. I'm not sure what Patio's "bios password" response refers to, he'll probably be back to clarify.
