Remove User Permissions Problem

[mellenburg]

I have a document library from which I accidentally removed all user permissions. So, even when logged in as the highest administrator, I cannot modify or delete this document library. Furthermore, I can't recreate it because I get an error because I'm using the same name. How can I delete or restore user permissions to the document library?

Did you try using the account that was used when installing SharePoint on the servers - I believe this is the service account. That should be able to do it.

A Site Collection Administrator should be able to do it as well.
