Reading Password protected files

My friends HDD corrupted its self, so i've got it plugged into my computer and can see all the files through Ubuntu.
Now, when i say Files, i mean i can see all the folders and some files.
All the Folders are there, but like in windows an account has been made and a password put on it, so i can't copy these folders across to my computer because i can't read them so to speak.

I can get all the passwords if need be, but i don't get a password prompt or anything?
Any ideas how to get round it?
 
Do you mean that you don't have permission to access the files (access denied) or that the user account had FileVault enabled and thus the entire user directory is an encrypted disc image file (dmg)?
