Here is an alternative, perhaps.

Take the disk out of the computer, put it in a USB enclosure, attach it
to a different (Linux) computer, run those scripts you mentioned as
root, and copy whatever you need off the drive.

Alternatively alternatively you could VERY CAREFULLY :-) run "chown -R
root:root" on the attached drive before putting it back where it came
from.

Regards, K.
