Restore a Group/Role?

I have a client with an eager IT manager who used Report Manager, saw the
BUILTIN\Administrators group in the roles list and decided to remove it from
the Report Server groups, or I think that is how he did it, he says he is
not sure. Sadly that was the only RS group with Content Manager and
Publisher rights, so no more report publishing/role assignment there.
I looked at the Books Online to see how I can restore/create groups/roles in
RS, but all cases say "use Report Manager and navigate ..." but obviously
that does not apply any more, because Report Manager now does not show the
Site Settings, New Role Assignment, etc.
Must they re-install?
Thanks.There is no need to reinstall. Use account that is windows admin on the box
where Report Server is installed. This account should have sufficient rights
to browse and change security. Admin on the box has these special rights on
Report Server regardless of the Report Server policies.

already, and will let you know if it worked.

now. Thanks in any case.
