"Debian Etch"
Hi, I just managed to fiddle around with sudo and stuff, and locked myself out. Before that; when i used "sudo" it didn't accept my root password. So i tried to get it working. These are the commands I used. (kuratkull - uprivileged user, root - root)
under "su":

sudo adduser kuratkull admin

(i should've replaced admin with root?)
tried
after some fiddling I thought that it wasn't worth it and as i thought i had enabled sudo before, i wanted to disable it with the next command:
under "su"
now i can login under my unprivileged user, but nothing accepts my root password.
Is there a way to get access to the root account :/
(although I think it's very unlikely, these systems are sturdy)
