Hi Everyone,
I've gotten myself into sticky situation.
I'm apartment sitting for someone and they left their macbook. There's a folder on her hard drive that had a little arrow pointing down in the corner and when i tried to access the folder it said that I didn't have sufficient access privileges to access it.
Out of curiosity I tried to see if I could get into it (I know, bad idea). I was actually surprised at how easy it was to access. I opened it in file buddy and set the "everyone" access to read and write (it was set at no access before).
However, instead of just setting this one back, I also set "owner" and "group" to no access and now the little arrow has changed to a red circle with a white bar through it. The folder can't be accessed and I can't change the settings back in file buddy. I'm pretty sure even she isn't going to be able to access it now. Even worse, it recorded my access date and I can't seem to change it back no matter how many times i try to clear or change it. Can anyone help me out?
