Access denied to everyone group

I'm having a problem that I'm hoping someone has a solution to. One of the developers at my company was screwing around with the permissions on a share, and I believe he denied access to the Everyone group. Even though I am logged into the server as an admin, I am unable to access, delete, or even view permissions on these objects. I have tried viewing and resetting the permissions from the command line using xcacls, but that does not work either. Does anyone know of a way to change these permissions or at least delete the folders?
 
If your working at the server you should have two separate admin accounts. The Domain admin and the local admin. Try signing on as either and see if it works for you.
 
If permission has been explicitly denied to the everyone group then you will not be able to access the share as a Deny always takes precedence over an allow, and everyone means exactly that everyone.

you can try taking ownership of the folder as local admin and then resetting the permissions but I'm not sure if that will work or not it's been a while since I've had to deal with NTFS permissions.

If you let me know which OS you are using then I can give more detailed instructions on how to take ownership.
