There are a few cases happening around me: because formatting the Windows OS is the easiest way to fix, those working in computer service center keep urging customers to format all their data (maybe just the c drive, but the drive can mean everything too).
*this works for all drives and folders being locked up - cannot access them by default*
I usually boot Ubuntu from pendrive to attain all the datas into another external HDD. It is that simple to know the concept.
To regain the permission for all locked drives/folders, in terminal (Linux version of Command Prompt),
1. Type "sudo passwd root", then enter.
2. Type any password you want, even "123456" works.
3. Log out of current session, then log in as "root" - which means administrator.
4. You can access all the locked drives and folders. It's time to copy them out into safe locations.
Ubuntu is that good. *Winked*
lol sure is yi huan laptop kena haha
ReplyDeleteHis one different case. His laptop doesn't support ubuntu or any linux in GUI form. Have to plug the HDD out.
