Dear ahmed


it is possible that you can clear the password by using the specific softwares or you can change jumpers and make it cable selector so that you can be able to access those files

Boot the system with an Ubuntu CD. Make sure you have a Windows FAT 32 partition to copy the files to (like an external USB drive). Linux isn't subject to Windows permissions.
