Dear debian users,
I used to use islanddancer as username to login to my sid laptop. and
islanddancer is in sudoers file.
today I changed it to zhengquan using
sudo usermod -l zhengquan islanddancer
I did nothing else.
Now I can login using zhengquan but I was not able to su to root using
the root password.
also 'zhengquan' is not in sudoers file so now I can not edit
/etc/sudoers to include zhengquan.
Any help to save my system is greatly appreciated!
Regards,

Do you mean 'sudo su' is not working? If so just use 'su', and enter
the root password, not your password. If you don't know the root
password try pressing 'e' on the right GRUB entry, and adding 'single'
to the end of the line. This boots up Debian as root.
Thanks
Harry
