It seems my droplet has this error
“sudo: /usr/bin/sudo must be owned by uid 0 and have the setuid bit set”
And can’t access it via Putty also. I think my permissions rights is corrupted Is there a way I can fix this? Thanks
I sudo chown to give another user to access all folders in system

I too ran into the same issue…and thanks to this blog post I solved it :)
Here’s how to do it, I hope somebody will find this useful…
In ubuntu recovery mode, enter the following commands…
mount -o remount,rw /
mount --all
chown root:root /usr/bin/sudo
chmod 4755 /usr/bin/sudo
restart
That’s it…it worked for me…
pkexec chmod 4755 /usr/bin/sudo
pkexec 4755 /usr/bin/sudo
this helped here
What I ran is chown command that gives my another user an all access to root folder. yeah i think i need to reinstall the OS
