How to recover rights to folders

I removed rights from admins to a folder and I am unable to make any changes to the rights now. How can I recover those rights?

Hello x64FFFF,

You may need to take ownership of the folder first, then you should be able to change the permission levels. This tutorial will show you how to if needed.

Take Ownership of file

Hope this helps,
Shawn
