Hi all

My windows based Dell is officially kaput, and I am in the process of moving across my data using a SATA to USB connector to my Macbook Pro.

Everything is showing up fine as it should on the mac, but I cannot view the user accounts that were created on the Windows PC as they were password protected. I.e. I can only see the public user accounts at the moment, and all the data is within the hidden, passworded user accounts.

How do I access these on the old hard drive? The windows vista directory folders are all in tact, it is just the 'hidden' user accounts that I cannot see and need access to.

TIA
