Bit of a strange issue here - someone got fired from work and changed the password on the Windows 8 computer before they left. I just managed to reset the password yesterday but now the Outlook account has none of their previous emails and the One Drive account files seem to have all gone missing and many files and folders that were on the C: Drive are all gone and not in recycle bin either.
When I reset the password I noticed there were three accounts on the computer - USER (which is the one I reset since it was the default when starting up computer), ADMINISTRATOR (didn't touch this one) and GUEST (didn't touch this either).
AfterI reset the password, I'm pretty sure it was the right one as there were still a few relevant files still on the desktop. It's just everything else seems to have vanished.
When I search for certain files in the Explorer, file names come up but it says that "the file location has now been changed" so the shortcut doesn't work.
Did the person who got fired delete the files and One Drive data, is there a way to find out and to retrieve files? Or did the password reset somehow alter things with the account and remove the information, or am I somehow on the wrong account?
