You used EFS (exploere->right-click->properties) or BitLocker?
I'll assume EFS. Your only bet is some password cracking software (Hiren's Boot CD might have some, not sure). You definitely won't be able to access it from Windows.

Look for "EFS recovery software" on Google.
I'd know how to handle paid cases, but not DIY (do-it-yourself) ones

The thing is this software wont work without decryption keys
As far as I know, it's pretty well unbreakable. At least, I've never heard of it being broken (not that I've done any extensive searching on this). Personally, I think you're pooched.
For the future, you can export a copy of your encryption key to, for example, a flash drive, CD, etc as a backup just in case.

well mathematically speaking it should take a Conroe about 2 thousand years to crack it. So it isn't unbreakable but rather it would take so much effort that it probably isn't worth it

you're serious? windows implemented such hard cypher?
i was told from one techie at security conference that any folder/file(not whole disk) thats encrypted ain't that hard to decipher thanx to ntfs nature.

AES on DEC, it tends to be hard to decode
