Well I'm not going to argue about the benefits of whether or not logging in as

has at least one solution to avoid that in the future.
Which is?
I had sent the OP a private message on how to use "sudo". If he then
gets locked out of this regular user account he still has the default
root account to fall back on.
Like you said so well, "at least understand what you are doing".
Do you?
Really?
