UNBEATEN CHALLENGE QUESTION-How to recover or dyscypt Encrypting File System (EFS) encrypted data?

tfsr2008 asked:


I lost my computer data encrypted by Windows Encrypting File System. Knowing that I have all .PFX and user passwords, I deleted Windows completely. New installation did not provide access to data despite successfully importing .PFX certificates. Data thumbprint did not match to my saved .PFX certificates thumbprints.
For recovery I used data recovery software “Advanced EFS Data Recovery”. It shows almost all scan keys decrypted but fail to recover any EFS encrypted data. At this point I strongly feel that Microsoft should have made recovery possible in the presence of user password and .PFX certificates which are generated by Windows at one point of time after installation. I think I deserve PHD degree on this observation since thousands of people lost their EFS encrypted data.
Is there anyone in the world could tell how to decrypt this data? It is challenge question which remained unbeaten.

    Absolutely impossible without the original password, if memory serves.
