I have absolutely no experience with Linux, but here is my question.

I have files on a drive saved from a client's Linux system which need
to be copied and analyzed via Windows based software.  I am using a
nice
bootable CD called 'Ubuntu' which boots as a GUI Linux OS.

I am able to read data from the client drive and copy it to an NTFS
USB
drive.  For one particular folder I encountered a large number of
files
which are marked "Unreadable" because I am not the owner.  Also,
because
I am not the owner I cannot change these permission settings.

Is there a way to login to such an O.S. as the owner ?
Does this require I approach the client and get username/passwords
etc. ?

Any help is appreciated.  Thanks !

~Steve
