It won’t let me use sudo or su. And I created a root password and a user.

Are you sure it's root's password that sudo wants? Try giving it your
user account's password.

Yes, I know the difference between su and sudo. But I could not get anywhere if
I used su or sudo. It tells me I’m not in either file.
Not sure what has changed in Debian since I last used Debian.

Sorry I won’t assume specifically for the version you have and what your actual
goal is.
You can usually either:
1. Learn the sudoers file syntax.
or
2. Be a bit lazy and just add your user account to the sudo group.

In the "find" man page is an example which uses (1) "-prune" to
exclude a directory and (2) "! -name '*~'" to exclude both files and
directories the name of which end in "~":
