when installing OpenSUSE on my system, I had made the root user be four the standard user and now I want to get rid (or lock) the root user account and use sudo for administrative task. I used Yast control center to add the user and the (already existing) home directory. So I logout and try to use sudo with zypper command and it ask for the root password and not mine. I had tried to work with the sudo utility in Yast program and that did not work.
So how would I fix this issue.

You need to configure sudo to allow use by groups or specific users, and make sure either your regular user is listed or a group they are a member of is listed as allowed.

The issue was with the sudoers file and I had to remove two line one being ALL ALL = (ALL) ALL.
Extension:
It was a default setting in openSUSE. I was reading the the sudoers file comments and under a part of the document, the files says to deletes two rows of text witch fixed the problem. (I don't exactly remember the two lines, except for the ALL line.)

It seems to me a "magician answer", I suggest to show also the causality chain, not only the result.
