XP native encryption

guys, I have a problem here where one of the users has encrypted all her 
documents on her laptop, and as requested, she had administrative rights. She 
had a friend playing around with her laptop during the weekend, and I have no 
idea why that guy went through the user accounts, changed the administrator 
password, logged in as local administrator, DELETED the user account, RECREATED 
it, and changed the password back to what it was. I think the user was too 
embarressed to tell me why this guy had her password, and why he was playing 
around with her laptop, but anyway, now she can't access her files, because 
they are encrypted.

do you know anyway to decrypt those files, in order to reencrypt using the new 
username?

cheers,
Fernando
