Was locking down root with the /etc/grub/00.header command and didn't know to finish it so I rebooted the computer and now I can't get into my sudo account.

This can be easily undone. Boot into recovery mode using grub, and get to a terminal. Then type in
sudo usermod -U <username>
Where (<username>) is your username. That should unlock your account.

No problem! Make sure to check that it worked, so anyone with this same problem can see this! – David Jul 28 '15 at 03:48
