Your idea of the word majority is miss-applied in the
modern linux world.
Root password usage is pretty well deprecated by most distro's today,
using sudo instead, even in wheezy which is considered elderly these
days.
The method suggested by Rolf Schmidt to overcome your problem
demonstrates that it's something as unsafe as can be imagined. Anybody
can get root privileges without a password.
Letting any user do anything just by typing sudo before a command is a
rather peculiar way of implementing security, be it the old Wheezy, or
the newer Ubuntu (and its siblings).
Just my 2 c.
