You can restore the everyone group back into the sysadmin group via script:
C:\Program Files\Cognos\c8\configuration\schemas\content\sqlserver\AddSysAdminMember.sql

(use oracle or db2 script equivalent, depending on where your content store resides)

Keep in mind that the sun ONE security link is destroyed, and needs to be rebuilt from scratch.


Maybe in your sun directory, the db2ldif and ldif2db can get you back in action. Contact Cognos support to help you out where needed.
