Launch a terminal window and …

sudo visudo

The command will prompt your for your password. Enter it one last time. The configuration file will open in a text editor. Scroll down to the end of the file and add the following line:

username ALL=NOPASSWD: ALL

Replace username with the username of the user you want to allow a passwordless sudo. So if the user is ‘user’, you would enter:

user ALL=NOPASSWD: ALL

Save and exit the file. Log out, log in as the user ‘user’ and test out your new passwordless sudo.
