The Engineer here is refusing to co-operate in any way, shape or form and will not allow access to the file server involved.

Any help for this noob will be much appreciated!

The way I see it is that if the engineer is responsible for the machines and server he would certainly not let any body have access to it. Just think of the damage that it could be done and possibly also the safety aspect.
