i hope I got the correct one @mayor What is the state of the drive? Have you tried to reformat it?
As you are trying to gain access their files did they disable the TouchID and give you the systems password?
The last bugaboo is if the system was disabled via iCloud. If it was you’ll never gain access to the files until the user alters the systems status within iCloud.
All of these conditions are present from Mojave forward.

To see drives go to Finder and within Finder menu jump to Preferences > General and tick on what you want. You can also alter the Side Bar options going into Side Bar.
To get to Terminal the easiest way is from the Finder menus > Go and then jump down to Applications. With the applications window open locate the Utilities folder, the Terminal App should be there.

Is it someone’s system who you are trying to gain access their files? Did they disable the TouchID and give you the systems password?

The older 2015 and older systems only require the system password. If you have a newer TouchID system then they need to disable it and give you the systems password.
