Question about administrative access

[CranialDude]

Hi there

I have a Mac OS X, and I am on a large spread network. I am capable of making administrative accounts, and I need to get into a user's folder on the network whom does NOT have administrative rights. His/Her folder is locked. What should I do?

Not sure where this goes

Thanks for answers in advance.

Why do you need access? Can't you ask the person, the account belongs to, to grant you access?

Hello,

A co-worker and I were working on a joint report to present to the workplace, however said co-worker has been fired since the forming of the task and there are a few files I need from a folder he has to complete the work on the report. He is unwilling to give me his information to log into his computer, and it is still there, and he is unwilling to give me the files I need either. I assume it's because of the situation the company put him in.

Enabling and using the "root" user in Mac OS X should help you get access, though you need to do it locally.

Or, which is probably easier: Mac OS X: Changing or resetting an account password

This isn't quite feasible as his computer is in a separate office. It would be much easier if I could access his files remotely. I believe it is in his Documents folder however I am unable to access the folder for some reason.
