Possibly you have to add yourself to the sudoers file: it's in
/etc/sudoers -- best edit it (as root) with visudo.

Make sure there is an entry (perhaps there is one) like

  %sudo   ALL=(ALL:ALL) ALL

(that means that users belonging to the sudo group may do everything
can do; you can refine permissions if you want)

Then add yourself to the sudo group. As root, do

  adduser <yourself> sudo

You'll need to login again for the changes to take effect.
