I deleted the admin by accident. What can I do?

I urgently need help. While distributing permissions in the home menu, I mistakenly deleted the owner=administrator permissions. As a result, the owner=administrator cannot access the main folder and cannot reassign the permissions. What should I do? Please understand that I had to use a translation site to ask this question because I cannot ask in Korean, so the sentences might be awkward.

Can you re-add him? That should then let him do it

i deleted me, the administrator. So when I try to grant permissions again, it says I don’t have access rights.

You will need to get whoever now has Admin rights to re-add you to the Account.
