GPO - 'Access denied' after changing a GP setting

Hey there,

I have a W2k3 Enterprise Server running Active Directory. Yesterday, I
enabled (I may be remembering wrong), an IP policy in the GP to only allow
'Secured' traffic. Since then I've rebooted the server, and now I get
access denied messages whenever I try to even view the GPO on the server.

How can I fix this? Can I delete the default Domain Controller and Domain
policies and recreate them without rebuilding the entire server and AD, or
can I get access to the GPO another way to remove that IP policy (I believe
that is the one causing the problem, I did change some other stuff, but
nothing else should have caused this).

Of course I'm getting event's 1030 and 1058 in the System event log on the
server right now stating that access is denied to the 'gpt.ini' file. I
tried giving the 'Everyone' group full control access to the 'sysvol' share,
but that doesn't fix this.

Any ideas anyone?

Thanks in advance...
