Without their knowledge if you access their wireless network, thats illegal and in some places equivalent to breaking and entering. So if their front door was open it would be ok to go inside and take stuff? The idea is the same.
There was a case recently in Ohio where a guy got fined for using someone's wireless signal without their knowledge.
What you are asking help in doing is considered criminal.

If you can connect to the network you can view any files they have shared. As for actually getting into the system I'm not going to tell you how because that is wrong.
