Enable Edit Access to All Files on Linux

This command will recursively change the permissions of all files and directories on the computer to allow read, write, and execute access for all users.
  1. Open a terminal on your Linux computer by pressing Ctrl + Alt + T on your keyboard.
  2. In the terminal, type the following command and press Enter: sudo su
  3. In the root shell, type the following command and press Enter: chmod -R 777 /
After running the command, you should be able to access and edit all files on the Linux computer.

Note: These instructions will give all users full access to all files on the computer, which can be a security risk. It is recommended to only use these instructions in a controlled environment and to revert the permissions back to their original state once you are finished editing the files.
