In case of error (if you make a mistake editing /etc/sudoers file):

Hold Shift immediately while booting so that you get the GRUB screen. Select the recovery mode. Choose to drop to a root terminal. Run mount -n -o remount,rw / and then visudo. It'll let you fix your problems with the file and save. It won't let you save a malformed file.
