Administrator Lost Permissions

I am an administrator and changed the permissions of the student role by "prohibiting" several actions for their use. After saving this and going back to the homepage, I (as an administrator) have no access to editing basically everything on the site. I'm thinking by prohibiting the student role from several capabilities that it prohibited me as well. See the attached screenshot of my administrator capabilities. Does anyone have any suggestions? Thank you in advance.

What is Front Page Role set to? If it is Student, that would explain what you are seeing - because all users, even you, will be automatically given that role when looking at the site front page.

Also, Prohibit is probably to what you want. You should only use that for very specific situations. If you don't want students to do X, then it is almost always correct to set the capability to 'Not set'.
