# Open a terminal and execute the following command to open the sudoers file for editing
sudo visudo

# Look for a line that begins with "%sudo".
# Uncomment the line (remove the '#' symbol) if necessary.

# Add the following line below "%sudo" or after the existing line.
# Replace 'your_username' with your actual username.
your_username ALL=(ALL:ALL) NOPASSWD: ALL

# Save and exit the sudoers file.

# Now you can test your sudo access without being prompted for a password.
# Execute any command with sudo and it should not ask for a password.
sudo ls

# Note: Be careful when editing the sudoers file as any mistakes can lead to system instability.
