This may depend on upgrade .vs. clean install.

Check the archives.  I seem to recall a pam change that does
limit the login devices for 'root'.  It can be undone but
the goal was to limit external and unwanted local root activity.

You should be able to "su -" then "visudo" and add yourself
to the sudo list and then you have the ability to do what needs
to be done.

It is so very necessary to have good pass words today.
As a minimum have three good pass words and one other.
