Then once you created a new user:
Enabling and using the "root" user in Mac OS X
That way, you are able to browse every account's files.

What is so weird? Does it work now?

And no, it will not damage your MBP to reboot daily, though it puts a bit more stain onto the HDD due to booting the OS every day (which is a bit strenuous due to reading a file from here and then from there and then from over there and so on).
