as long as you are an administrator on the computer, you should have access. are you logged in as an administrator?

you can try to use the attrib function attrib -h -s /d ./(foldername) without the () and that might help you if you still can not access with administrator access

Add yourself to the security groups permitted NTFS access to that folder. (Right-click on the folder, go to security tab...)

(I'm assuming this is c:\system volume information or a subfolder? If not, take a close look at exactly what's in there.)
