 * I have been given admin rights to a persons WP blog, But I can’t find my way 
   to all the folders, for example. css sheets and so forth. I have no way of looking
   at the file and folders. t’s driving me crazy.

 * Having WordPress admin rights doesn’t mean you have free access to their web 
   space. You have admin access to WordPress only.
 * You can view theme and plugin files in the [built in WordPress theme editor](http://codex.wordpress.org/Appearance_Editor_Screen).
   That doesn’t mean you will have permissions to edit them however.

 * What would I need from the owner? So I can tell them.

 * I guess that comes down to what the owner has enlisted you to do on their web
   site. If they want you to have complete control over all of the files on their
   web space, they will have to give you ftp access. If they only want you to be
   an administrator on their WordPress web site, then they’ve already given you 
   all you need by assigning you a WordPress administrative roll.

   talking about. So lets say she doesn’t have this info. How would she optain this

 * The individual who installed the site would have that information. The owner 
   would contact the hosting service, and after verification of ownership, they 
   would be able to assist in recovering credentials for the account.
