Well, if you have access to sudo as root, you can modify the sudoers file:

Code:
sudo visudo

Or, like I said, you can just modify the root crontab:

Code:
sudo crontab -e

If you don't have access to the root account and sudo is not working for you, then you will not be able to run root commands until someone with proper privileges gives you access.
