While 'tidying up' I selected my hard drive, selected info, and set access for everyone to no access. Now I can't access anything on my MacBook Pro. I feel sick. Can anyone help?
Hello TolaHill
You would need to revert the permissions back to what they were before you changed it to No Access. The best way to make sure that things work the way they are suppose to without the worry of know what to put it back to is to reinstall Mac OS X Lion. Check out the article below for more information.

Thanks for replying to my plea Norm G.
I managed to resolve this by re-booting with Control S held down, then typing in some codex from another post. After several attempts, I finally got back in. What a relief.
All the best,
tola.
Hey Tola,
Good to know that everything is working for you again.
Take care,

I've set everyone to No access on the info screen, now I can't do anything!
