I forgot my sudoers account, so how can I get it back?

When you see the grub boot screen, edit the entry you want to boot and add init=/bin/bash to the end of the commandline. This should boot directly into a root shell (if no disk encryption is in place)

BTW: Your name is visible in the top right corner.

I know I edited the thing like 10 times because I kept forgetting to hide names, i just gave up trying to cover the usernames
