  If you know the root password, then you can switch to the account called root using the su root command.

  The sudoers file is located at /etc/sudoers. Do keep in mind that this file should not be edited directly. You can use the cat command which will print the content of a file to the terminal. So try cat /etc/sudoers.

  I’m not sure exactly what causes this, but you can work around it as long as you can actually run commands as root (i.e. using sudo) in the terminal.

  The command to add a new user is adduser.

  The command to add a user to the administrators group (i.e. give them the ability to use sudo) is usermod -aG wheel.

  These commands should be run as root by prepending sudo.

  Another common W for Steam, but in all seriousness, arbitration clauses in consumer contracts need to be banned.

  Restarting the device does this on Android. The PIN is required to enable any functionality.
