WinXP: How to save user's files?

I am being asked to remove a profile from a windows XP computer and to back up all the user's files. Many of the files are 'access restricted' and the original password is not known to gain access to this profile. Is there any way to back these files up? TIA.

-dave

Nevermind... In case someone reading has a similar problem: If you have any account with administrative privilges, goto Run and type "control userpasswords2". This will give you the freedom to change passwords.
