I have a hard drive with a viable OS on it from another computer. &nbsp;The old computer died and I've installed the HD into a second -- newer computer as a slave drive. &nbsp;Both systems are XP Home. &nbsp;I have access to the files on both drives---Except----Certain<wbr /> users have passwords on both drives. &nbsp;I can't access the files on the old hard drive where the user had a password. &nbsp;How do get access to the password protected user names on the older hard drive???

Operating system security (OS security) is the process of ensuring OS integrity, confidentiality and availability. OS security refers to specified steps or measures used to protect the OS from threats, viruses, worms, malware or remote hacker intrusions. OS security encompasses all preventive-control techniques, which safeguard any computer assets capable of being stolen, edited or deleted if OS security is compromised, including authentication, passwords and threats to systems and programs.
