Problems with sudo

Hello everyone,
so not too long ago I got Arch Linux and ngl it's awesome, my only main problem atm is having sudo user, I tried to use command like sudo su but I get this : is not in the sudoers file.  This incident will be reported.
I also tried commands like visudo and then again, same problem as above.
Is there any known solution?

Thanks to everyone in advance!

Re: Problems with sudo

You're supposed to add your user to sudoers during install. Otherwise post-install you'll have to do it as root user. If you didn't set root user password and/or the root account is locked, you'll have to boot into live usb and chroot in to fix it.
