How to batch unlock numerous files within subfolders/folders/directory?????

I have a drive with numerous folders & subfolders, each containing numerous files copied from another disk, that i would like to batch unlock (vs tediously unlocking each individual folder).

How can I do this?

Choose Utilities from the Finder's Go meni, open the Script Editor, and run the following:

do shell script "chflags -R nouchg '/path/to/folder'"

Holding the Command key, should allow you to select multiple files.
