sudo problem after resetting root password

[Ozgur Karatas]

Hello,
using your command, "sudo passwd root"

ozgur at gw:~/Desktop/$ sudo passwd root
Password:
Enter new UNIX password:

root at gw:/# cat /etc/sudoers |grep admin
# Members of the admin group may gain root privileges
%admin ALL=(ALL) ALL

root at gw:/# cat /etc/group |grep admin
admin:x:108:ozgur

Sincerely,

man sudo
man sudoers
