Default Changed the security settings, cannot access my files anymore

PLEASE HELP!!!

I'm sitting by a computer at work, where I am the principal user, but others
have access to the computer as well (different logins on the office network).
To stop people from getting access to my files, I changed the security
settings so the one could read and write the files only if they are logged in
with my name and password. Guess what! Now I can't access my own files
anymore!!!! Some of the files I can get to by changing the security settings
for that specific folder or file, but some refuse access completely and I
have thereby lost valuable files.

Today I tried restoring the system to a date before this change, but I get a
message that the restoration is unsuccessful and thereby nothing is changed.
I'm guessing that this is related to the security problem. On top of that,
now I've lost my connection with the network at the office! Isn't that
great???

Would be extremely greatful for any tip!
Regards
M
