Security settings change each night, How do I stop it?

Each morning I have to go into the security settings of each shared folder on the server and go into the advanced settings and check the box that allows the settings to be pushed to the child objects. If I don't then the files and folders that were originally moved from another folder on the server to a new location on the server can't be accessed. We did have to change the Administrative password because our IT guy left and since then this happens. Once we click the checkbox in the morning it works great all day. Then we have to repeat again the next day.
Any Suggestions?

On the surface, it appears that there must be some sort of script that is running every night that moves files and/or changes the NTFS permissions. Are you moving files every night using some kind of script? Or are these the same files/folders every day that have different NTFS permissions in the morning?

We are not moving files every night. I will check to see if there are any scripts causing issues. It is always the same folders that need to have the child permissions pushed out again in the morning. Could it be from us changing the Administrative password?
