Answer 1

Another solution to this problem is to modify sudoers file and add your account to it and state that you should never be asked for the sudo password. To accomplish this is fairly straightforward:

run:

sudo visudo

In the User privilege specification section add a line that looks like

youraccountname ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD: ALL

Of course, this can be a dangerous thing to do, so be careful. I would suggest reading the man page for sudoers and visudo before going this route.
