I upgraded from Fedora 26 to Fedora 28 by using sudo dnf "system-upgrade download --releasever=28" command.
Now I can login to Gnome, but sudo is not working. When I do sudo -i, it asks for the password for my username. I login to Gnome with the same username but that password doesn't work in the terminal. Now I cannot check the wheel group or do visudo, as I don't have access.

@yogeshkakde If you didn't set a root user while installing (which is odd) or you just don't remember the password, boot into single-user mode and reset it. Whengrubshows the kernel that you normally boot into, select it and presse. On the next screen, go down to the kernel line that starts withlinux, change therotorw init=/sysroot/bin/sh.Ctrl Xto boot into single user mode. When the prompt comes up, enterchroot /sysroot/and that will get you into/. Enterpasswdand then enter and confirm the new root password. You can now login and become root withsu -.
