Hello

by mistake, I corrupted my sudoer file, i modified it, and mis-spelled a word that corrupted the file

I wrote NOPASSED instead of NOPASSWD.

in the meantime, I am not able to edit it any more.

I am using MacBook Pro (16-inch, 2021), OS 12.3

I rebooted with single view mode, and opened the terminal, but i wan not able to reach that directory to modify the file. any help?

Sorry, user oahmed is not allowed to execute '/usr/bin/vi sudoers' as root on oahmed-mac.

I'll see if I can get this moved for more eyes
