  • If you have encrypted windows files from a previous user, these certificates needs to be recreated for your new user so you can unlock the files. For this method to work you need to have access to the /Users/ folder from your previous installation, along with the password or the NTLM hash.
    Tools used: mimikatz and git bash (for openssl)
    Steps:
    00:00 Introduction and prerequisites
    00:40 #1. Find out which certificate is needed for the encrypted file
    02:30 #2. Download mimikatz
    03:25 #3. Export the certificate to .DER
    04:20 #4. Locate the private certificate
    06:19 #5. Find and decrypt the masterkey for private certificate
    09:17 #6. Decrypt the private certificate using masterkey hash
    10:24 #7. Create the PFX certificate using openssl
    13:40 #8. Install the new certificate

    Damn, what a great video!
    Mine didn't work first try. But then I installed the certificate by double clicking it, then it worked!

      Happy to hear you had use of the video! My head was thinking too deep into commands so I didnt think of the fact you could just double click it.

    Hi @simpan_TV , PLEASE ASSIST BRO,🙏🙏 similar situation but copied users files from user account on c driver, then installed new windows on user computer only for the copied files to be encrypted, nothing works to decrypt. And unfortunately backup other than the copied user files which are encrypted don't exist. Is it possible to recover or decrypt user data.
    Please please help 🙏🙏🙏, I'm about to be fired at work over this incident as our company doesn't allow losing user data

      You need to have a backup of the old files. If you just format the disk its still possible it might be in the unused sectors and is able to be restored.
