I have ended up doing something extremely ridiculous!! I created a sub-site of an existing site in SP 2007 and inherited all user permissions from the parent site. I created a list and wanted to set special permissions, and so I started out by deleting some people from the list permission. However I ended up deleting MYSELF!!! And now obviously I suppose, i cannot even access the list!! Help!!! I badly need to access this list.Aditi

Go to Central Administration > Application Management > Site Collection Owners and add yourself back in.

Sorry forgot to mention. The main problem is that I don't have access to Central Admin. Is there any other possible way? I have full control on the site though.Aditi

ok, if you dont have access to cerntal admin, on current site what is your permission level?ullasjoshi

Can you access the site to open site actions? Site Actions > View all site > (select list) > settings > list settings > permissions for this list

Hi, According to your description, assuming you have done an IISReset, you can re-run the SharePoint Products and Technologies Installation wizard, DO NOT disconnect from farm, but unprovision Central Admin. Then re-run the wizard and simply re-provision to resolve this issue Best Regards David Hu

You don't have access to the server, do you? If so you may be able to use stsadm adduser. http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc262627(office.12).aspx
