Reset server 2008 r2 security settings back to default

I have a Server 2008 R2 server and one of the Admins was trying to tweak the security settings and completely hosed the box.  the only person who can login is the local administrator.  He took ownership of the C drive and then gave ownership of other folders  to other groups.

is there anyway to reset the file system security to default?
Windows Server 2008
