I wanted to stop Ubuntu from requiring a password everytime I did nearly anything, so I followed instructions here to disable the password requirement in sudoers - How do I stop Ubuntu from asking for my password every time I install something?
However, instead of providing universal superuser elevation, which is what I intended to accomplish, the password requirement was disabled but is still needed for nearly everything. I am simply not able to enter it anymore! Furthermore, Ubuntu no longer understands the "sudo" command and will not run any commands at an elevated level. I have no way of going back into the sudoers file and removing NOPASSWD because getting into the file requires elevation and I do not have permission to view it any longer.
How can this be reversed?
