Windows 10: Access denied local drive after changing permission

Hello

I was trying to change access under security tab in properties to my local disk S:

However I messed up the process and now I am unable to access the whole drive. I have run chkdsk in cmd after dismounting and it is showing no error. Please note after initiating the permission change I aborted the process just after few moments. Now I am clueless on how to get back to last/default access settings.

I am the administrator and the only user in this PC. However I created another guest user profile while I was trying to change the security(access).


windows version: windows 10 Home .


Please help me since I have crucial files in the local drive. Thanking in advance.
