The following information is required to get an answer:
Get this information from the PHP diagnostic (in the configuration wizard).
Gallery URL (optional but very useful):
Gallery version:
Apache version:
PHP version (don't just say PHP 4, please):
Graphics Toolkit:
Operating system:
Web browser/version (if applicable):

^-- NO IDEA ABOUT ANY OF THE ABOVE!

This was installed at the non-profit I am interning with and they want me to make some basic edits from the admin panel that should be easy. The rest doesn't really matter. Its installed alright and everything, I just need to know how to find and edit something. Its kind of important because they are selling art prints and someone put the full sized copies of the prints on the website. This means people can steal the images and print them out themselves! Here is a sample page to show what I mean. I found in the edit through that individual page how to edit the actual content text, but the link at the bottom for the full size download wasn't there with the rest of that body of text. I didn't see it anywhere else on that admin page or any of the others. Any ideas? If nothing else is there a way to break into the website somewhere and edit the images themselves so the link actually points to small images?

Fact: If I can view a photo/video/audio on the web I've already downloaded it.
The best way to protect your content is not to post it at all. But if you want to sell it, you will have to display it.
So... the second best way to protect your content is with a watermark.

Gallery's cart systems I believe allow for the display of the derivative images like thumbnails and mid sizes but not the source image.
So you can watermark the derivatives and the cart will allow the purchaser to download the source image.

BTW you are using gallery2 so I'm transferring this post to the proper forum.
