I was testing out how to password-protect folders using an article through these forums. I created a test folder, with nothing in it, followed all the steps listed, but now when I attempt to open it, I get the message "The folder 'Test' can't be opened because you don't have permission to view it's contents". I thought a simple fix would be going to 'Get Info' and changing the permission settings back to normal, but the folder itself is still locked and can't be deleted. Furthermore, in 'Finder' the folder titled 'Desktop' is also locked for some reason!

Any help in sorting this out would be appreciated...
