Do Not Have Sufficient Access Privileges???

Question

I bought my Time Capsule in 2008. It has backed up my iMac since 2008. At the end of 2010, I had a hard drive failure. The hard drive was replaced and the Migration Assistant was used to bring that information over to the new hard drive.
I did create a new password and name for Hard Drive because I couldn't remember password from prior.
Now, I can access files and computer is up and going again, but if I need to pull something from the Time Machine prior to the hard drive failure and Migration Assistant connect, it states that I do not have sufficient access privileges.
Here is a screen shot of what occurs, I was trying to pull a 2009 file: http://twitpic.com/3q9tk2
Also, I did not use Migration Assistant from boot up. I made a user profile. So one is my full name (made after boot up with hard drive replacement) and one is my first name, what was made once computer was booted up then I did Migration Assistant.
Any advice on what to do to be able to see those older files? I can live without them as I have been working with what was backed up prior to the hard drive failure but it woulda been great to get some stuff from 2009 that was deleted and not backed up in that last back up prior to hard drive failure.
Thanks in advance.

I know this is an old thread but just for the sake of adding some insight that people might find with a search:
After two hours on the phone today with Apple Support I've found out what caused my identical problem with iTunes access after a migration. In the hope that others can avoid the same pitfall, here's what wenr wrong:
If, before the migration, you set up a new user with the SAME DRIVE NAME as on your old computer, and then do the migration, then Migration Assistant will, of course, oblige you to use a DIFFERENT NAME for the migrated material. That's where the problems start - because your iTunes has its material stored in the NEW user environment, whereas its content is authorized for access only by the OLD user. When this happens, you can play the tunes in your library OK but you can's add tunes to the library, or reorganize it or do anything that requires writing to it.
If this does happen to you, it's almost impossible to set things straight because it would involve lots of tricky and error-prone premissions editing. And, besides, although iTunes is apparently the only app to have this issue, who knows what other dangers lurk when the migration is flawed in this way. The ONLY practical solution is to wipe out the new user and to re-do the migration from your Time Machine backup. You don't have to re-migrate the apps, just the documents.
And, to avoid it happening in the first place, do NOT create a new user with the same hard-drive name as on your old machine. It's a shame Apple can't put in some protection against people doing that because using the same name is probably the most natural thing for the user to do. If it causes this very nasty problem, the user should be prevented from doing it - or at least warned. There is the opportunity for Migration Assistant to insert such a test/warning before committing to the migration.
Hope Apple is listening (I think it would save them a bundle in support calls anyhow!)
