I cannot Access sudo on my ubuntu VM

Question

When I try to get my account to admin, Every way everyone used to open admin, did not work for me. When i tried sudo -i or sudo su, it gave me this output,

usbuser123@Ubuntu2USB:~$ sudo -i
[sudo] password for usbuser123: 
usbuser123 is not in the sudoers file.  This incident will be recorded
usbuser123@Ubuntu2USB:~$ sudo su
[sudo] password for usbuser123: 
Sorry, try again.
[sudo] password for usbuser123: 
usbuser123 is not in the sudoers file.  This incident will be recorded

here's an image : An image of the terminal

Does this answer your question? How can I add a user as a new sudoer using the command line? — karel, Dec 19 '23 at 12:51

try this :

pkexec visudo

pkexec is an alternative of sudo

then add this line under members of group sudo to execute any command :

# Allow members of group sudo to execute any command
add this line if doesnt exist 
 %sudo   ALL=(ALL:ALL) ALL
