other users files locked, even for admin?

[MuGeN]

hey,

I was having some real issues with iWork which resulted in me starting a new user and working from there... but there is stuff in the old account which I would like to get access to but there is like a red stop sign on the folders when i navigate to them...

this is also the same for the backed up files on the time machine, red stop signs on the old user files...

how to i "unlock" these so i can do what i need to do?

ahh i think i found it... get info, and give "Administrators" read & write access...

only seem to be able to do one folder at a time but hey ho...

Do it on the top level folder and it will ask you if you want to apply it to everything underneith it.

Administrators should have read/write permissions anyhow. Repair permissions in Disk Utility should work it all out.
