How do I mount a hibernated NTFS partition?

I have a Windows HDD attached to an external docking bay on my Ubuntu System, but the HDD brings up an error message:



Error mounting: mount exited with exit code 14: Windows is hibernated, refused to mount.
Failed to mount '/dev/sda5': Operation not permitted
The NTFS partition is hibernated. Please resume and shutdown Windows
properly, or mount the volume read-only with the 'ro' mount option, or
mount the volume read-write with the 'remove_hiberfile' mount option.
For example type on the command line:


       mount -t ntfs-3g -o remove_hiberfile /dev/sda5 /media/92441EC8441EAF4B


I am at a loss for exactly how to remove the hiberfile, or even mount it as read-only or read-write. I tried directly copy and pasting that exact command into my terminal, but it said:


mount:only root can do that

I do not know what to do at this point. I do need to get the information off of this drive, but I do not have a computer to put it in. Does anyone know what I should do from here?
