In reply to Rohit.

I’ve always wondered that as well :) Maybe Linux gets an email every time.

In reply to Jean-Luc Q. Just go back to the terminal and type 'su' which should take you to root. Type this:

# adduser username sudo

Should solve it

At the point of the root, when prompted by you to hit enter for the maintenance, instead of allowing me to run the command "#mount -0 rw,remount /" it instead when I hit enter says Login incorrect then prompts again give root password for maintenance or press control d to continue and will not let me ensue. Hope to hear back soon.
