upgraded to OSX 10.6.6 - cannot sudo

UNIX macOS
1

I've been using "sudo" inside Terminal. I just upgraded to 10.6.6 and now "sudo" gives me incorrect password errors.

My user is an admin user, so i can install etc on GUI but unable to do anything in terminal.

  1. I did a repair permissions and restarted but cannot sudo.

  2. i had an existing dummy user. i made it admin, changed to it, but cannot sudo there too.

  3. /etc/sudoers file has not changed since 2009. I don;t have permissions to view it, but can change permissions in Finder and then cat it.

  4. Tried Directory Utility, but this has no option for setting root user. Downloaded ServerAdmin 10.5.7 but it does not work on my Macbook.

  5. Some suggest adding my user to wheel group, but i cannot do that without sudo.

Thanks in advance.

Moderator: please delete this question.
I found that Textpander was expanding the password resulting in the password failing.
