Is there a way to reset the ACLs?

I created a new folder in Accounting and was able to create a document 
inside, and it has the right ACL.  I cant apply the correct ACL using 
RSAT or windows tools since I dont have permission.  Is there a way to 
set it using samba tools?  Or even reset them and then set them up again 
using windows tools?
