Hi everyone, I recently stripped my Windows 10 of all permissions on accident. I need to know how I can restore SYSTEM as well as Administrator access to all files please.

Not sure how you went about doing that, but....
Probably the first thing that I would try is, booting from the installation media.
When you've managed to boot from the installation media you need to click the Repair Your PC link on the second page after the Choose a Language and Keyboard layout page.
That should get you to the Troubleshooting -> Advanced Troubleshooting options, where you should have an option to select "System Restore" choose a restore point prior to you having made those changes.

IF you do not have the installation media, the ISO can be obtained here

Choose Windows 10, the first item in the first drop down (not single language at the bottom) * see note at bottom.
Next choose your language and your bit version (32 or 64 bit to match your system architecture or in the case of an upgrade, to match your currently installed version of Windows).
That will provide an ISO that will boot, upgrade, repair (or clean install) either or both Windows 10 Pro and Home.
*NOTE: In some cases, we've learned that some people have the "Single Language" version installed. In which case you would need that download. It's important that you match the ISO version that you download with your installation.

Once you have downloaded the ISO you can use ImgBurn to burn it to a DVD http://imgburn.com/index.php?act=download
OR
Rufus to burn it to a USB ThumbDrive http://rufus.akeo.ie/
To create the bootable installation media.
