Re: Don't Administrators have access to everything?

I already AM owner! Still, I tried taking ownership again. No luck. Since
when does the owner not have access to the file?

Were they encrypted?

If you're an admin and you take ownership, and you replace permissions,
then set permission for Administrators, unless they are encrypted or you
corrupted the OS, you own them and can access them.
