Restore from a Backup:

Prior to all of this, did you ever create a Time Machine backup of your Mac? If so, restore your Mac from it. If not, know to always backup oyour Mac, should anything go wrong. Know to always create a backup of your Mac, prior to making any major changes to it (i.e. new install). Create a backup of your Mac prior to this restoration, and then restore to it after all is successfully restored.
