Need help with unlocking folders & files
Hello,
I've spent so much time with this, tryin' to figure this out and still can't... Hopefully this forum can help.
Here's the situation: I wanted to set up a password to one of my hard-drives. For some reason BitLocker didn't work or I don't think it did. So somewhere somehow I found "Encrypt" button and tried to encrypt hard drive. Well, for some weird reason I couldn't get it to lock where I could unlock it with a password. So I decided to un-encrypt it. Once I did - I wasn't able to get into my folders. I tried to go to the properties - security - permissions. It says ownder unidentified. Then I have to set myself up as a owner and I was able to get into some folders. But it seems like I have to do it with all the folders. ...My question: how to get rid of that parental control? These are my files and folders and I can't turn it off... There's this whole mess with not bein' able to recognize/find the owner and these issues... I can't even change read only option...
Please help. I really appreciate it. Thanks.
