sudo problems

[piltdown]

I can no longer gain access to any procedure that required "root" access.

For example, If I go to Adept to update I am told that I have entered an incorrect password (which I haven't and I am using the first user account that was set up). When I re-enter the password I get a message that says Conversation with su failed.

If a I try and run a program via sudo, for example, sudo nano /etc/fstab I am asked to enter the password, which I do. Then I am returned to the command prompt - and that's it.

Basically I can no longer gain access to anything that requires sudo access.

Any ideas?

Thanks.

Any good?

Rememeber you can always boot into recovery mode if you need root access to repair something,
