hi everyone,

i've got bit of problem can't resolve. can no longer open , run program "users , groups". here's how got there. wanted make computer more secure thinking (or maybe not thinking) enable root , restrict other accounts (three total) denying them admin status. so, used "users , groups" enable root , restrict other accounts. worked fine. here's problem. wanted use "update manager" download software updates wouldn't allow me. so, went "users , groups" give myself admin permission can't in.the box pops , says "that not allowed access system configuration". restarted , tried logging in root won't allow me login screen. can't remember (haven't used linux main os since 2000) how grant sudo permission user command line. have tried su adduser myname , sudo adduser myname when root don't work. how can fix this?
