If it's documents on your computer this may not help, unless you're running some flavor of Linux.
But for the workspace, you could try this command: "chmod u+rw *". This will make every file and directory readable and writable to you.
Then for directories, you could do this: "chmod u+rwx directory1 directory2 directory3...". Of course give your actual directory names instead of directory1 (and 2 and 3 ... etc).
Hopefully, this will get your access back until you can get more familiar with setting permissions.
