I am trying to unlock files from my root to a admin account. I've tried by going into the account and moving the files into it, but when I go to the account its all locked. And when I do CTRL+A and it selects all of the files. And then I right click on one file because all of then are selected, then I change the permissions to my admin account. The folders are unlocked but the folders inside them aren't.
Is there a way to unlock them all?

When you change the permissions of the folder, use 'Change Permissions for Enclosed Files' or 'Apply Permissions to Enclosed Files' button:
Or just use chmod with the -R option. You can use the table on this page:
chmod -R 757 /PATH/TO/FOLDERor you can change the owner with chown - see here:
chown -R USERNAME:USERNAME /PATH/TO/FOLDER
