I have encrypted files on my backup drive. Install the user on the status of CA for access? How?

How should I keep my new user well that store the same name and all that stuff? If I can access encrypted files?

If you do not back up your certificate, then you must connect to your machine using the original profile/user who created the encrypted files.  Then, you should back up your encryption certificate.  Then, log in as a new user and import that certificate into the backup that you created.  It is covered in the following Microsoft KB article.  Pay attention to the paragraphs "Why you should back up your certificates" and "how to back up your certificates.  If you cannot connect as the creator of the encrypted files and/or do not have a backup of the certificate, probably you have lost access to these files permanently.
