fix fouled up permissions?

In a user's home directory, there is a folder that has become unaccessible.
The permissions for all folders in her home directory should read Admins:Full
Control and User:Full Control, all inherited from the parent. This one reads
Admins:Read&Execute (no write, no delete), inherited from the parent (but
that's not the parent's permissions). Because of this, the user can't read
the folder, and I can't change the permissions. Is there any way, any
utility or hack, to override those permissions so I can reset them to the way
they should be?

An Admin should be able to take ownership and reset the perms.

Thanks- I remembered this about 10 minutes after I posted. It was a long day.
