Usernames and passwords wouldn't be honored at a file listing level by a non-
Windows system.  They might be necessary to actually open a file, but not to 
list or copy it.

Clearly the filesystem is damaged.  I would recommend using something like 
Norton from a Microsoft suite, as I don't believe the Linux-based tools for 
working with NTFS are sufficiently advanced to let you do good recovery.
