Hi! I don't have much experience with Terminal commands and so on, but I have this problem on line 45 and I want to solve it. I understand that after unlocking the lock, those commands must be written in Terminal, right? And later? What do you mean by restoring the original permissions on the Finder file? If it's not too much trouble, could you explain me? I don't want to make things worse. Thank you very much! Mac OS X 10.8.5

Thank you! I fsck'd up my sudoers file yesterday by erroneously putting a = instead of :, and this post saved me since I wasn't able to sudo anymore.
