That's the way better answer. Also, make sure that your user account type is setup as "Administrator", not "Standard" or "Guest" in System Preferences -> Users and Groups (it should be, but please double-check.) You can also set a password there. After logging out and back in, sudo should magically work. Don't go the other route "enabling" the root account via Directory Utility or changing the sudoers file... Mihai
