How can I unlock a locked folder when the Locked checkbox is grayed-
out? I've got read & write permission for system, admin, and everyone
else.

The owner is me as I'm the only user. The permissions are drwxrwxrwx

That sounds like access control lists (ACL). Finder's 'Get Info' window
has a place to edit ACLs but I've never seen it work. You'll probably
have to fix it on the command line.

chflags nouchg yourFile
chmod -N yourFile

Rather than type in the path to 'yourFile', you can drag and drop the
file onto the Terminal window. The file path will be entered for you.

This doesn't work either.
