How to recover files from locked harddrive

Ce dont vous avez besoin

I accidentally nuked my Mac by deleting a user account I did not recognize.
This caused all my harddrives to be locked out with "custom" permissions.
The solution was 2 part. First disable HFS+ Journalling on the locked drive by using an older version of Disk Utility.
Second mount the drive on a Linux machine with HFS+ drivers loaded and Thunar GUI. Log into Thunar as Superuser. Type in this command " sudo gksudo thunar " after that just copy and paste the files from the old drive to a new drive.
This system bypasses all of the permissions
