You need to edit the sudoers file. You should find a copy that works
and make yours look like that. (Hint: you need to add a line with
your user name and the word ALL in it.) You can edit it with any
editor, or if you know vi, then you can use visudo. You will have to
have admin privileges to do this, so if you can't su to root, you
will need to find out how to do that, first.

And of course, if you can do that, you don't need sudo. To me, sudo is a fine tool if you want to give access to a few admin tools to people who don't (and shouldn't) know the root password. However, I can't see the point of using it if you're the person who installed Linux and created the root password.
