Thank you worked a treat managed to recover data - your instructions were perfect.

I am upgrading - thank you.  Excellent service.

Hi Zsolt

The top line says home.

I followed your instructions and hope I have captured what you requested - when i try it on the one locked folder called old I get the following:.

mcdaddys-imac:~ Mac$ cd "/Volumes/FW/old"
mcdaddys-imac:old Mac$ cd ..
mcdaddys-imac:FW Mac$ ls -l

When I try it on another locker folder on the same drive I get the following.

daddys-imac:~ Mac$ cd "/Volumes/FW/jan docs"
-bash: cd: /Volumes/FW/jan docs: No such file or directory
mcdaddys-imac:~ Mac$ cd ..

All the other folders are accessible

Hi Zsolt

No Joy, just receive the following error message when I tried your suggestion.

Thank you.

Hi all

locked some folders on an external hard drive and Espionage worked a treat.  

Bought a new iMac, install Espionage, plugged in external hard drive and could not access files.

Plugged external hard drive into old iMac, unlocked all folders and uninstalled Espionage.  Received a confirmation message that the selected folders would not be protected by espionage any longer, confirmed uninstall. All folders unlocked on old iMac, plugged External harddrive into new iMAC and when accessing some of the folders I received the three default folders:

>>This folder contains encrypted data
>> It is controlled by Espionage
>> Do Not modify it in this state

i am now unable to access the folders on old or new iMAC and I am struggling to search for solutions - can anyone please advise.  

Thanks in advance.

I am iMac ignorant so if asking me for info please can you specify in layman terms.

just to add when I try to relock it on the new iMac i get an error:

Bad owner
This folder must be owned by Mac.  It is owned by home.
