Dissappearing Admins 2

I went to make some changes in Full access administration mode the other day on some servers and I was denied- It seems my name has been removed from the Administrators list for the domain.
I am the only admin, so I dont have any other user accounts to go in as. The other accounts with admin rights on the servers are LocalDomainServers and Administrators of which I am a member of the Administrators Group but still cannot enter Full access Administration mode- it comes up "You do not have full access administration rights on servername/domain". I have tried switching IDs to one of a server in the LocalDomainServers group, tried old admin's logins, still no luck.
Is there any way I can set the administrators through the command line, or through editing a script? I have access to view everything on the servers but I cant write- I cant even create a new user.
 
Hi

You should be able to launch names.nsf from a client on the Server, files opened locally ignore ACL's. You should have full rights to names.nsf so just add yourself back into the administrators group or config docs as required. The server users the Server id and can open any database.
We have users you lock down their ACL's so tight that no one can open their database, so its a trip down to the datacenter to change their ACL's back to how they should be. Lotus assumes if you can access the console then you have enough rights to do anything anyway.
There are other ways as well, but have never used them. Such as creating a replica of a database elsewhere in the domino domain and replicating it back to the original server you were locked out of - this is a bit dangerous and I would not be doing it with names.nsf until I knew what I was doing.
