Which command are you entering from that page when you get the error?

Hi,
Before run command esentutl , please make sure to run command to stop **Cryptographic Services. **
We also need to check the permission on this folder if the Administrators group has full control on this folder:
If this issue still persists, i recommend to enable build in administrator account on your PC, log on with this account and try the solution again.

Looking at that link the command does indeed give access denied. Note sure what the <> as part of <%systemroot%> is doing, remove them and command runs. So try;
esentutl /p %systemroot%\System32\catroot2\F750E6C3-38EE-11D1-85E5-00C04FC295EE}\catdb
C:\>esentutl /p %systemroot%\System32\catroot2\{F750E6C3-38EE-11D1-85E5-00C04FC295EE}\catdb
