Answer 1

Maybe you should give us more information on your environment and what your are trying to do?

Do you try to start your SQL Server and it stuck as it cant access the datafiles?
Do you try to import a CSV/JSON into your SQL and can't read the file?
What kind of SQL Server?
Who is executing it? Is it a manual TSQL, powershell or an Agent job?

There are so many variables in this question, in order to answer adequate we need more information.

Answer 2

Error 5 is access denied.

Answer 3

Hi @Rabia Kurnaz ,

What operation did you encounter this issue while performing? The useful information you provided is too little, you need to add your information more clearly.

Error 5 is Access is denied, so now is a suggestion, if your operation is involved, you should check if specify the file exactly with the file name and extension, or you do not have enough permissions to the file/directory, it may need you add the SQL account on the file folders
