Folder control lock-out

Hi There,

I am running SBS on a clients machine. After losing some folders for whatever reason (maliciousness?) i tightened security on the folders.

It seems i tightened the permissions too much, as i have locked myself and everyone else out by accident. i cannot change permissions, access folder contents, or move/delete.

I'm in quite a bind.

I  have used the following with no success.
CACLS "c:\Users Shared Folders" /E /T /C /G "Administrators":F
CACLS "c:\Users Shared Folders" /E /T /C /G "Everyone":F
CACLS "c:\Users Shared Folders\leandet" /E /T /C /G "Administrators":F

please can someone assist me in giving me access to the permissions editing at least.


Your help is always appreciated.
