I would backup the passwords files and any cfg files you need and 
reinstall.  That is probably going to be a nightmare in and of itself 
above and beyond a reinstall.

My "Foundation" verse:
Isa 54:17  No weapon that is formed against thee shall prosper; and 
every tongue that shall rise against thee in judgment thou shalt 
condemn. This is the heritage of the servants of the LORD, and their 
righteousness is of me, saith the LORD.
