Default Ubuntu: Issue accessing any System applications

After going throug ha tutorial on how to setup ftp server one of the steps told me to create a user in terminal so i created a admin user after doing this everything turned to custard and now im getting this error.

"Error"

"failed to run users-admin"

"The underlying authorization mechanism (sudo) does not allow you to run this program. Contact the system administrator."

This only displays after i enter in my root password after trying to access anything in systems tab

anyone have any ideas on how to resolve this issues

thanks..
