I f he uses "FOLDER LOCK" software, it is easily crackable as you can use the activation key as the password.
99% it works.

It looks like the drive is being mounted as read-only. You could try:

1. Unmount the drive, and unplug the USB connection.

2. Open a terminal window, plug the hard drive back in and type: dmesg

You may see errors there that indicate why the drive is being mounted as read-only.

It could be something as simple as a dirty file system, in which case run the Disk Utility from the dash (click on the Ubuntu icon in the sidebar, type disk utility into the search box), unmount the device & check the file system from there.

NB - if you want to run Nautilus as the superuser, then I'd suggest: gksudo nautilus
