For now, I am afraid you are "lost".

For future, should you mean this situation could repeat, 
you may want to check Intensive Care Utilites under
http://www.liebsoft.com/index.cfm/server_products

Among other things, 
this tool can export all access rights from your server or from your domain,
you can edit this rights or keep unchanged, 
and restore them (or some of them).
I used this tool on previous site and i found it to be a high quality and 
flexible tool.

best regards
