I am sorry if this is something obvious but I am new to Linux. I was trying to set a git bare directory and for this I installed ACL on Ubuntu. Then I ran the following commands:
adduser git mkdir /repositories chmod 700 /repositories setfacl -m defaut:user::rwx /repositories sudo chown git:git /repositories
Everything was fine until I rebooted the machine. Now I am unable to execute sudo anymore. Everytime I do it as myself I get following message:
[[sudo]] password for Andre: Sorry, try again
The password I enter is the same I always used, and I don’t have any problem to SSH with these account credentials. Does anyone knows what happened and how to fix it?

I think that the issue was with setfacl. I should have used ‘repositories’ instead of ‘/repositories’. In that way I set acl across the root. I ended up reinstalling Linux.
