Sounds like you haven’t added yourself to sudoers. You may need to launch Directory Utility and enable root; then use su to switch to the root account; then run visudoers and add “[your short username] ALL=(ALL) ALL” under the User privilege specification section. Sudo should work for you after all that. (Oh, and go back to Directory Utility and disable root. It’s a minor security measure but it ain’t nothing.)
