Cannot Access Files On Local System

Well, I was messing around with the system access rights and setting up another User Group when I realized that I couldn't access any files or folders within that folder I was messing with. The system when logged in as administrator cannot access any files whatsoever within that folder.

All I get is the "Access is denied. You do not have enough permissions to access this folder." error. Even though I'm logged in with the Administrator account on the server itself.

Any help would be appreciated because there is sensitive material within that folder and it would be a great loss and problem for me if it were to get lost.

Thanks.

Do following;

select your required folder and Right click the folder/file -> Sharing and Scurity -> security -> Select Advanced -> goto owner Tab Owner and click on your administrator -> select the check box "Replace owner on subcontainers and objects -> apply - ok -ok and check that you got access.

and dont forget to add addministrator in security tab. there is two kind of administrators 1 is your local system administrator and other is Domain administrator select as you required.
