Opening password protected HDD

[Brainchild]

I finally got my new HDD installed,but I forgot to remove the password protection on the old one I have slaved in the computer.So I can't copy any of my files over to the new drive.DOH!

Is there a way to get the files without having to put swap the cables around again?

I have windows XP Pro.

Probably didn't take ownership of all folders at first.
