Try changing the permissions.
In a terminal type "su chmod 777 /etc/shadow" (without the quotes)

"...and type /etc/shadow..." /etc/shadow is just a text file, you need to run a command like cat or less to view the contents, why you should want to I don't know as it only contains password hashes and shouldn't be readable, ie chmod 777 is a bad idea, 700 would be better but don't forget to change it back when finished.
What is it that you are trying to do?
