Somehow you got dropped from the wheel group. Did you uncheck your

No, I did not uncheck anything (because nothing every came up for me to uncheck). I can get into the rescue. What do I do after that?
Since I'm not sure which rescue setup you have, I'll give you the easier
method. At the grub menu edit the boot entry and add "init=/bin/bash"
to the end of the linux line. This will boot you right to a root bash
prompt. Then run the following two commands, replace "username" with
your real username:
/usr/sbin/usermod -a -G wheel username
/usr/sbin/reboot -f
Btw, you do have a root account, but it probably doesn't have a
password. "sudo -i" will make you root.
I see, but it requires the wheel access that you were mentioning, I guess.
Yes. You mentioned that you didn't have a root account and I was
clarifying that you do, it just can't be logged into directly.
