Unlock Locked Folders In Ubuntu

First off open your terminal (Applications/Accessories/Terminal)

For most users by default when you open your terminal, you'll start out in your home directory. Now if you wish to change the directory you'll need to use the cd command. For example mine is placed on my desktop.

cd ~/Desktop

NOTE: The location is case sensitive.

Now I'm going to unlock my sheepshaver folder with this code.
sudo chown -R speed:speed sheepshaver

My username is speed, just change that to whatever your username maybe, and change sheepshaver to whatever the fodlername maybe.

Now I also have another locked folder in my home directory, so while my terminal is still open I'll type the code below to go back to my home directory.

cd /home/speed

Again change my username to whatever yours maybe.

Now I'm going to type this code into the terminal again, but with a different folder name.

sudo chown -R speed:speed armagetronad-0.2.8.2.1

There you guys go simple as that.
